“Wings fall off” switch.
As someone that builds the wings, I can whoele heartedly tell you that there probably isn't a button that makes the wings fall off.
How about a dead man's switch if the subscription isn't renewed?
Wings as a Service (WaaS)
Ahhh, probably™
That button was when Boeing cheaped out and stopped making the wings in North America.
Most of the wing structures are made in the good ol' USA. The machinery required is a scale that no one is willing to invest in, even Boeing....
Okay so what I know is that there used to be a Canadian company that made the wing frame for them. Had a giant CNC machine that would cut it from one aluminum block, even the 747.
What I was told is that they offshored it.
I know that those guys make stuff for Cessna now.
What if they need to replace the wings quickly? Not having a button that makes the wings fall off sounds very inefficient and frankly irresponsible.
Will it be next to the goat sound button?
Wings? What wings? Elon will come out with a wingless plane design like a fucking tuna can and then be praised for his stupidity.
