Did anyone see this article on the front page of the Guardian this morning? (Saturday 14th April)

It seem that Airbus and Boeing are both doing U-turns regarding sonic cruisers and 500+ seaters. The European Aeronautical Defence and Space company who have a majority sharehold in Airbus claim a rival sonic cruiser to Boeings delta wing could be completed in ten years.

Also, Boeing are now considering producing a longer range and larger 74. Any thoughts?

Nobody has any idea what to do, but in the meantime they are both going to throw up smokescreens to confuse each other (and us the increasingly cynical public)!
