Visiting the A380 for the first time, FAA Administrator Marion Blakey
was impressed by the visibility and the entire environment of the
cockpit.

"It's an amazing aircraft," she said. "There is nothing quite like it
in terms of scope and scale and it looks to me like the customer's
experience is going to be a very good one."

Describing the aircraft as enormous, she added: "It's agile and
apparently an aircraft that a lot of pilots love to fly. It's very
clear that Airbus has designed a very safe aircraft with a lot of
maneuverability and yet for such a large aircraft, the ability to fly
within a very small envelope."

I'm not sure what that means.

I'm SURE she didn't mean small flight envelope.

I think she meant it can be flown inside a standard #10 envelope. Frankly
I've never gotten anything bigger than a housefly to fly in a #10 envelope,
so Airbus has a lot to be proud of. (I doubt that technology has advanced
enough to allow flight in a #6 envelope.)

I'm not sure Blakey knows either.

She means that she got her job because she is a friend of the President.

That would be the envelope she plans on kicking the Spam cans out of.

I don't know what she really means, either.

Maybe the money that came in the envelope? or maybe the type certificate that came in the envelope?
