Any idiot who's ever fern a plane take off could've told you that the very back would touched ...

[117nathanmyers]

you would think a rocket scientist would have figured out that it would scrape further back and use more of the test thing that they replaced. but maybe not. oh and the test wasn't very accurate. they never got a real tail strike. is this plane fully fueled and weighted like it had passengers in it? you would think that would also be a requirement because it would change the take off speed.

How was this plane FAA certified? They never had the proper contact with the ground, That Skid fucked the testing up, They never knew how the plane would actually react to a Tail Strike, Therefore The planes safety is at risk. Therefore It should be taken out of service until they redo all the testing. The Engine Tests failed, Brake tests failed, and this failed. Never fly on Airbus. Boeing<3
