EADS CEO: A350XWB Development Program Better Than A380 Program

European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. NV (EAD.FR) said
Tuesday it doesn't want to repeat previous mistakes and said the
development program of its new aircraft A350XWB has been
significantly adapted.
Therefore the company won't face the same development and
production problems it did with its A380 superjumbo program, Chief
Executive Louis Gallois said at the company's annual general
meeting in Amsterdam.
Europe's largest aerospace group included partners from the
beginning of the plans for the A350XWB, Gallois said, noting this
hadn't been the case with the A380. Here the company developed on
its own for some time, and then added partners, he said.
The A350XWB is the next generation long-range, medium-sized
jetliner.
In addition, the A350XWB won't be as tailor-made to customer
demands like the A380, Gallois added. There are some proposals for
the interior from which customers can choose, the CEO said, noting
the company wouldn't accept the many specific requests as with the
A380.
Despite these limitations, Gallois repeated the development of
the A350XWB is a "challenge." He said it is a very complex target
with high technical specifications.
