@gzreel: During the development of the Airbus A380, teams working at different European sites used incompatible versions of CATIA design software, contributing to wiring harnesses that did not fit correctly during final assembly. Airbus had to redesign and reinstall large sections of the aircraft's complex wiring system, creating extensive rework and contributing to production delays that pushed some A380 deliveries back by nearly two years. The delays became one of the costliest problems in the A380 program, with Airbus parent EADS warning of billions of euros in lost operating profit over the following years. Love technology?

Why Not Build it? :
Yeah, always add 10% length to account for wire curl

Clearly you didn’t make one first to check and confirm all parts and pieces worked correctly before mass producing

France used one version of CAD and Germany used another version of CAD when developing the A380 and when they went to put the plane all together nothing fit.

All they had to do was extend the housing of the connector.. they prolly freaking out about .0000009 difference in resistance or some shit

They also forgot to mention this cost them critical orders for the A380 Cargo variant (orders were cancelled so Airbus killed that variant) and this effectively doomed the A380 from ever being commercially viable.
