The point is that other aircraft had repeat tests

Not finite model analysis. What I want to know is that no airplane is certified without meeting the proper TESTING that is required. As someone who is a certified mechanic and with some engineering training I do understand what is required. No other aircraft has been ceritified without proving the wings don't break until 150% of design strength.
