>>The delay in securing the landing permission wasn't justified by any reason... >>American manufacturers had lobbied very hard to >>get that plane conmercially killed. They succeded ! >The delay was from court battles over the noise issue. True. But it wasn't really a problem. Does the Europeans have more capacities to handle high level of noise ? No. >Suppose you tell us >what US manufacturers did to kill it. I think what killed it were high >fuel consumption and limited range. The same way automakers killed the passenger railroad industries.
