Congrats Airbus!
Boeing is still loosing 787 orders
But....considering China is buying them....next year's news will be: "China flies copy of Airbus bought last year"
"At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation."- Igor Sikorsky

I think words like copyright, plagiarism, cloning, and thieving-bastard don't translate well into Chinese
Have you seen some of their Clone Cars on Top Gear?

It's swings and roundabouts, as they say. Three years or so ago we were saying the same about the A380 and its teething issues, and how the 787 was winning orders.
At the end of the day, as long as the world has at least two reliable, competitive, long haul airframe manufacturers, it is a good thing.

Couldn't agree more Charlie. Without competition there is no progress...
