wrote: Although they are intended for different markets, they are competitors in that each company has spent so much on development that they have literally 'bet the company' on the success or failure of the A380 and the 787. That may be true of Boeing (though the 787 looks like a winner at this point, so it is perhaps an easier bet than say the 747). But it's not true of Airbus. If the 380 doesn't make a profit, Airbus just doesn't repay the launch aid.
