Airbus anounced flight tests of the "new" A320, belive it or not, to me it looks like an E-170 mixed with a 737-800. Why? you ask? THEY
PUT WINGLETS ON IT! Dont belive me? Check it out:

The NEW A320 is now one of the uglyest planes I have ever seen, and it used to be my favorite.
Did I mention they are working on a double decker 2 engine plane, Airbus is haveing a massive cereberal hemerage!

Ehm.. I like the new 320.
After hard landing:
Tower: Let them know that they are on the ground.
Pilot: I dont care, they are claping every time.

I dislike airbus, so naturally the plane sucks! :P
(and if I found pictures of the right new wingets, it looks like they were just glued on...)

It's all about fuel efficiency and competition from Bombardier and Boeing. They could not care less about what the airplane looks like.

The A340-600 is impressive and good-looking, but I still prefer the 747--much more impressive, and beautiful. The 747 is the Enterprise 1701-D of
airplanes.
I haven't seen the A380 live, so all I know is that it has an incredible range and capacity, and it can be fun to fly such a huge monster. But I
wouldn't call it beautiful.

Seen the A380 going into Heathrow a few times - it's one ugly beast, esp with all the flats, slats and gear extended!

its about fuel efficiency and renewed competition from boeing and bombardier. im sure the board of airbus (along with 99.9% of the
population) doesnt give a crap what the aircraft looks like, just as long as it competes in the market. but still it does look like an overgrown
e-jet.
