Does thai mean that each new Wing of 150 to 200 Man Slemen incorporate improve Menti lug gaited by test of earlier wings a. To some extent. We Don t make major changes in Ever Wing however for s couple of reasons. One the original Wing 1 exceeds the Job or which it was designed. Two. Such changes increase Crew training time and could cause difficulty in meeting production schedule. The biggest Chang i Are in the Wing 0 mlis Ellesor Brand Fork . Where construct Lon o silos will begin Early next year. In these we have improved the Sec Ond stage engine or even greater payload Anil Range and the Guldaneh. The guidance is almost unbelievably Good in the Wing 1 mis Sile.
