      Ah yes, the Airbus megajumbo or something like that. Beautiful thing. Like a flying hotel they say.
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
      -Richard Dawkins

        Haha - preemptive strike before we Eurocoms could start a thread about it?

        And it is European, not only French!

                I doubt it will be built if the EU is forced to cut state aid to Airbus.

                    I read somewhere that this plane is the largest that current technology will support. To get bigger they would have to invent a different type of wing material or something...can't remember the details.

                    Also, Boeing looked at doing a super jumbo, but decided not to persue it due to a predicted lack of market and a desire to concentrate on more volume producing units.

                      Do you know how many and what the cost per unit is?

                          I don't know but I do know it has sucked up millions and millions of government subsidies.

                            Last number I read is 139 planes that are ordered plus talks about some 20 more. Profit should be made with ca. 250 sold planes. Airbus hopes to sell over 700, of course I have no idea if they reach that. Price is ca. 280 Millionen Dollar per plane.

                              Bah, you krauts can't even get the Frenchies to give you equal representation on the board of directors or in the executive suite.
