While Airbus is almost famous for its “improper subsidies” through Launch Aid, I’d probably focus on just how GE was subsidized in the development of the CF6 engine family through technology transfers, military “system development and demonstration” programs, and layered tax incentive programs from city to federal levels. Airbus, GE, and Honeywell all have benefited from government subsidies. Many others have as well. But if it’s not “substantially subsidized the R&D efforts” like I said, I guess I’m corrected.
