Airbus starts building XWB
European planemaker Airbus on Tuesday began building the first parts of its new A350 XWB, a wide-bodied airliner designed to compete with US rival Boeing's much anticipated B787 Dreamliner.
Airbus are very dependant on government subsidies, thats one of the reasons they dont win many contracts in the US (we still believe in free competition!). It makes sense they woudl tkae the environmental angle on this, its the best way to secure future funding streams!
