the European manufacturer, which will build the wings at Broughton, North Wales, has angered Boeing by asserting that the material is too risky to use composites for a fuselage.
Announcement by Noel - the Airbus 'head':
"Airbus will follow The Boeing Co.'s lead and build a plane with a composite fuselage, despite earlier suggesting that such construction wasn't safe because no one had done it before.
At a news conference Monday in Paris, the co-chief executive of EADS said that Airbus plans to develop a new generation of planes to replace its A320 family and that they will be built with light-weight composites."
