The aviation buffs will correct me on this, but, isn't Airbus' lack of composites on it's current aircraft, the reason that Boeing is kicking their butts.

Airbus-based tanker/cargo plane?

Seems like Boeing would have an inside track if they're going to use US technology-base.

Then again, wasn't it Northrup that creaeted that hideous, gross fighter for the strike fighter?

Please, not airbus, Boeing only to apply. I have a thing for frog planes. Well OK it is a consortium, I just don't like airbus. Maybe it is the "bus" more than the air. Former EC,RC, KC Piloto of yesteryear.
