Aircraft wars continue!

Via PlaneNation:

Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner is overweight and experiencing delays with some suppliers, the company said Sunday, while stressing that the long-range, fuel-efficient jet remains on budget and on schedule.

Rival Airbus, however, announced this weekend that the widely expected redesign of its planned A350 - billed as a competitor to the 787 - will nearly double the development cost of the plane.

Sounds like Boeing is also experiencing problems, although Airbus’ problems with both their super jumbo A380 and now the A350 are far greater.
