While the Europeans are usually the leaders in terms of design, their aerospace conglomerate EADS’s last two efforts indicate the guy who’s been out of work since the Trabant factory closed its design department has found a new job.
For both military and commercial clients EADS has an ugly plane for everyone.
I’d hoped the double decker A380 was an aberration but the newly unveiled A400M indicates a trend.
