Default Airbus 380

At one point there was a glider manufacturer who couldn't build high
performance gliders. In an attempt to maintain market share, that
manufacturer took a marketing approach that suggested that performance and
safe handling qualities were inversely related such that it was impossible
to build high performance gliders with safe handling. Instead, that
manufacturer proved that it was possible to build bad handling and lousy
performance in the same glider.


Is that how the 1-36 got built?
