Deflecting the issue again?

YOU made the claim that Airbus stole technology, and you can’t back up your claim.

“OK what Jetliners were they building in the 1950’s and how many?”

The predecessor to Airbus was De Havilland who was incorporated into Hawker Siddeley, who merged with British Aircraft Corporation and Scottish Aviation. This new company became British Aerospace which later joined Airbus to build airliners.

The De Havilland Comet’s first flight was in 1949 and first entered service in 1952 or 5 years before the Boeing 707 ever flew.

I could do this all day, while you keep stalling because you can’t back up your claim that Airbus “stole” technology.
