Why would you suggest this Triton? I set up separate topics on Airbus precursors and Airbus projects deliberately; for a reason. Now all the carefully curated and sequenced content is now a nonsense.

I did read something whereby the design basis of the A300 was "don't do whatever Boeing and MDD are doing". Now that's probably a flippant remark by someone on the design team but when youve worked on both, you tend to see things that, on an Airbus, are clearly opposite to a Boeing, such as routing of pipes and cables, the operation of slats, the layout inside wheelwells and so on.
