Lucas Aerospace, Ltd. (aka Lucas, Prince of Darkness) in the UK, makes generators for aircraft. When the new Airbus A340-500 came out, Airbus selected Lucas Aerospace to provide electric power for the aircraft. The major airlines refused to purchase Lucas generators and told Airbus to provide them with Sundstrand (U.S. aerospace company) electric power generating systems (EPGS). Airbus then specified Lucas Aerospace for the auxiliary power units’ (APU) generators. However, Lucas had such a poor reputation for product support, Sundstrand Aerospace was directed to provide logistics support for Lucas Aerospace APU generators!
