LOL, is it made from "TORAY CARBON FIBER" like the Boeing? ANA seems to like to remind everyone of this every time you fly with them.

What I've read so far indicates that some aircraft had premature cracking in some wing ribs, specifically at the point where they are riveted to the wing skin. SIA says they found this problem on 2 of their 380's, and the issue was promptly dealt with as per the structural repair manual's instructions. Not a worrying development AFAIK.

This would be very surprising indeed... especially considering A380 wings are made from an aluminium alloy.

According to the usual tradition of getting creative with the ribs and this description:

I assumed that ribs were in some kind of FRP variant...
Edit:

Meanwhile, airbus shift its production in England to South Korea...

Bwahahaha! Korea scores again? After all the kimchee mobiles I saw while I was stateside, maybe we should all be investing in Korea?
