#2 Better add air transport capability to the list. As successful as Airbus is in the civil market I find it incredible that the EU can't figure out how to build something to rival a C-130 or C-17. Unless the big problem is what country gets the jobs building them. 'Cause if it ain't France they ain't gonna get built. Hell the Brits all ready have a very good small high wing jet commercial aircraft in the BAE-146(?)
