...debate over subsidies is especially heated because the aircraft business is so precarious. Launch costs for a new plane are enormous, with little guarantee that the market will reward innovation. In December 2003 Boeing announced plans for the twin- engine, highly efficient 787 (originally called the 7E7), its first new airplane in a decade and its designated aircraft of the future. In contrast to the A380, which is designed to fly lots of people to big hub airports, the smaller (about 220 passengers) 787 aims to fly longer distances to more cities. Scheduled to roll...
