Aircraft sales abroad are one of the U.S.'s largest export items, and without them the nation's trade balance would suffer disastrously. Plane sales are also a matter of national pride, and for the first time ever, the U.S.'s dominance of civil aviation is being seriously challenged by European governments, which are pressing their state-owned airlines to buy jets made by their own industries.
