CHULA VISTA - 02/24/05 - The Goodrich Corp. has said that its Southern California-based Aerostructures Division will make key parts for the initial version of the new 245-passenger Airbus A350 jetliner.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the work comes under the terms of a contract that the company has valued as high as $6 billion over the next 20 years.
The Goodrich unit, which has about 2,000 employees at its Chula Vista facility near San Diego, will develop the engine housings - called "nacelles" - and engine thrust "reversers" for the new EU-designed passenger plane, the paper said.

Why do yopu limit it to 'these Airbus discussions', as you put it. Its true of every major aerospace programme in the world today, especially the Boeing 787 and even including the F/A-22, but to a much smaller extent, (BAE Systems is involved with the Raptor, google "BAE F/A-22" for some results.

What does it say for America when we have to outsource our airline production to Europe.
God knows what else.
Especially when our countries beleifs are so different. I dont approve of this and would never fly an airliner that used an airbus anywhere in their lineup.
At least I know the current airliners are supposedly built from specifically American technology. Enough said. Bush I could care less about doing this to bolster the Euro trash's economy or relations. I dont agree fundamentally with their country, and I definatly dont agree with all the foriegn backed American companies that are everywhere. They are slime.
