Boeing chose CATIA in part because of the offset agreement for the French
AWACS. I don't remember the dollar value of the offset but as I recall it
was more than 100%.

CATIA was Boeing's baby

Wich surpise, Catia is US Sotfware like Michelin tires !!!

Don't really, Catia is developed in Dassault Aviation in 1983. After
creation of Dassault Systems and asscociation with IBM to market this new
software all over the world.

Boeing is one of our customer but not the first one, just one customer
