Airbus pensa ad un concorrente del B-52

Monaco, Germania - Lo afferma il presidente del consorzio

Il presidente di Airbus Noel Forgeard ha dichiarato al settimanale tedesco Focus che il consorzio sta pensando ad un rivale del B-52 americano. Effettivamente il leggendario bombardiere Boeing "Stratofortress" ad otto motori fu concepito negli anni '50 ed è ancora in servizio, ma sono ben pochi i paesi in grado di mantenere tale tipo di aerei.
