FRESH ALLEGATIONS IN EADS INSIDER TRADING INVESTIGATION: PRESS

Received Saturday, 27 October 2007 15:55:00 GMT

PARIS, Oct 27, 2007 (AFP) - Airbus manufacturer EADS denied reports in French daily Le Monde Saturday that it had published misleading information now being investigated by French financial markets regulator AMF.
The European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS) group "has nothing to reproach itself in its financial communication and has always informed the markets on time," a company spokesman told AFP.

Le Monde reported that AMF was looking into whether EADS had published false market information between the end of 2005 and early 2006: just before share prices plunged at news of major delays in Airbus' flagship A380 superjumbo jet.

The report adds fresh allegations to an insider trading scandal in which the Lagardere group has been accused of having cut its stake in EADS in 2006, just before the announced Airbus delays.

The markets regulator is now planning to question anew some company officials, including former co-president Noel Forgeard, Le Monde reported citing an official "close to the dossier."

Contacted by AFP, AMF refused to comment on the report.
But AMF's president has said previously that companies must communicate as early as possible information susceptible to have a significant influence on the share prices.
"There are two ways to mislead a market, either in not saying things that one should say or in allowing things to be said that are overly optimistic," the offical told Le Monde.

The report follows changes announced at EADS earlier this week, as former co-chairman Arnaud Lagardere moved to take a seat on the Airbus board, while Germany's Rudiger Grube was elected as new chairman.
Despite the probe, Lagardere said Monday he planned to stay on the company's board because he represented "the interests of Lagardere," which is EADS' largest single shareholder.

EADS stock plummets after warning

Shares in European Aeronautic Defence & Space dropped nearly 8 percent Monday after Deutsche Bank downgraded its rating for Airbus' parent company, EADS, to "sell" from "hold."

Deutsche Bank research noted fears over the ramping up of production on the much-delayed A380 superjumbo, uncertainty over the development of the mid-size A350 and delays to the A400M military transport jet make EADS shares "unappealing", hence the sell order.

Не било 4 пати по толку туку многу повеќе - $15 милијарди!

Не знам, ниту имаат контракт од USAF за новиот танкер, ниту знаат кога ќе го замрзнат дизајнот на А350XWB.

А и како ќе го финансираат последниов кога никој во Европа нема пари? Плус, доцнат со испораките на Кина 18 месеци.

Сега веќе отворено се зборува за банкрот на EADS и поделба меѓу EADS и Airbus.

Малку добри вести - после неколкуте задоцнувања во производството, Boeing се наближува да го исполни договорот и да го полета В787.

787 powered on two weeks early

Monday June 23, 2008

Boeing achieved full power-on for its first 787 two weeks ahead of schedule, a significant milestone as the company seeks to restore a reputation tarnished by a trio of delays to the aircraft's first flight.

The power-on process started June 12 and brings electrical power onto the airplane in stages. The complexity of that process is increased by the fact that on the 787 the pneumatic (bleed air) system is replaced totally by electronics (ATWOnline, June 13).

"The team has made great progress in bringing the bold innovation of the 787 to reality," Pat Shanahan, VP and GM-787 program, said in a statement. "There is plenty of work to be done between now and first flight, but with every step forward we grow more and more confident."

Boeing first applied power to verify that wiring had been connected properly. After the completion of those checks, engineers plugged in an external power cart and slowly began to bring full power into each segment of the system, beginning with the flight deck displays. From that point, the pilot's controls were used to direct the addition of new systems to the power grid.

The next significant step will be moving ship one onto the flight line at Everett, followed by engine testing and then taxi trials. First flight is expected in the fourth quarter, with the end of October the target for seasoned program observers.

International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) размислува да ја откаже нарачката на А380 без да плаќа пенали.

Ова може да е пресвртница за програмата А380. Нема купци за употреба во Кина, а варијантата да се употребува како транспортен-теретен авион пропадна.

Досега Air France, China Southern и Qantas ги нарачките. Оваа година Airbus ќе произведе 14 А380, а идната планира да произведе 20.

NTSB hearings that last week focussed on the Jan. 15 crash of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson have generated potential actions -- from developing on-aircraft anti-bird technology to rounding up and wiping out thousands of Canada Geese. At the hearings, Airbus test pilots supported Captain Sullenberger's decision to take the flight to the river instead of trying to make LaGuardia or Teterboro. Airbus' fly by wire system was praised for allowing Sullenberger to maintain the best airspeed for the ditching simply by holding the joystick fully aft and letting the computers do the work of not stalling the aircraft while he maintained wings level..............

Повторно почна битката меѓу Boeing и Airbus за кој ќе го добие контрактот за новиот авион на Американската авијација. Зделката е $35 милијарди!

Не ми се верува дека во услови на невработеност од 9%, САД се спремни да распишат конкурс. Тоа во ЕУ е незамисливо!

LE BOURGET, France — Boeing said on Tuesday that it was prepared to go head to head with its European rival, EADS, to win a bitterly contested $35 billion contract from the Air Force by converting its 777 passenger plane — a bigger aircraft than Airbus is offering — into a refueling tanker.

In what will be the third effort in a decade to replace the Air Force’s aging tanker fleet, the Department of Defense is expected to release soon a preliminary request for proposals, according to executives from both companies.

No military contract has stirred as much rancor between Boeing and Airbus as the refueling tanker. The contract, which was first let in the late 1990s, was awarded in February to a consortium of Northrup Grumman and the Airbus parent, European Aeronautic Defense and Space, only to be withdrawn in September after investigators called the selection process flawed.

Enormous financial and strategic issues ride on the project, and the size of the contract also has significant ramifications for suppliers like Honeywell, which worked with both of the prime contractors.

Meanwhile, the delays and chance of further protests have raised the prospect that the contract could be split between the two bidders — a solution that the defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, has opposed.

“If the Air Force values more fuel, more cargo, and more passengers, the 777 offers superior capability,” David Bowman, the Boeing executive in charge of the tanker program, said at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday. “We are ready to build America’s next tanker with whatever capability our customer requires.”

Airbus received the news that Boeing could respond with a bigger aircraft with characteristic bravado.

“We need to evaluate it, but certainly they have higher capacity with higher development costs,” the Airbus chief executive, Thomas O. Enders, said. “I think it just shows how seriously they take us this time around as a competitor.”

Mr. Bowman acknowledged that Boeing had not yet conducted critical wind tunnel testing on the refueling apparatus of a 777-based tanker. He said the craft would take about the same time to develop as a tanker version of Boeing’s smaller 767 jetliner, which the company submitted as its bid last time — though the 777 version would cost more simply because it would be bigger.

The 767-based tanker is now in service in Japan. Airbus’s A330-200 tanker, meanwhile — the model that won and lost the Air Force contract last year — has won four other competitions but is still undergoing flight tests for Australia.

Mr. Bowman acknowledged that submitting a yet-to-be-designed 777 could lose Boeing the advantage of time. “If the customer values schedule, then the Airbus tanker is what they want,” he said.

Patrick M. Shanahan, the Boeing vice president for airplane programs, said that the 777 would be fitted into Boeing’s existing assembly plants. “I don’t think it’s a matter of building a new building as much as utilizing the final assembly in a different way,” he said.

Airbus, however, plans to establish an assembly plant in Mobile, Ala., that would also produce freighters based on the same aircraft model. That would give Airbus a long-sought bridgehead in the United States that would help offset its euro-based costs — a disadvantage, since aircraft are priced in dollars.

“This is the only important tanker contract and it has to be awarded,” said Doug McVitie, the founder of Arran Aerospace in Dinan, France. “It is important to Boeing for reasons of prestige and strategy.”

Beyond the A320 freighter plane, Boeing may fear that Airbus could assemble the A320 passenger plane and eventually the A350-XWB in Alabama, Mr. McVitie added.

American certification authorities, meanwhile, will not be able to ignore the recent mid-Atlantic crash of the A330-200 Airbus operated by Air France last week.

The intensely political nature of the tanker contract, and the inevitable protests from the loser each time, has led to suggestions that the contract be split.

Mr. Bowman said that Boeing could live with that solution. “If the customer decides on a dual buy, we’re fine with that, but I’d rather compete and win,” Mr. Bowman said.

At Airbus, the response was similar. “We want to win the whole thing,” Mr. Enders said. “We won it last year, and we want to win it again.”

Bob Smith, chief innovation officer at Honeywell, said a split contract could have implications in determining which model plane each contractor ultimately presents. “If they do a split acquisition, I’m sure it will change the strategies,” Mr. Smith said.

Nick Cunningham, an aerospace analyst at Evolution Securities in London, said that a split contract could be seen as an admission that the procurement process was not working.

“It’s like kindergarten sports day: everyone has to have a prize so they don’t cry,” Mr. Cunningham said.
