*We* like European companies to be succesful for much the same reason.

Trouble seeing past your nose, eh? Forest getting in the way of the trees?

Nope.


The folks at Smith's Aerospace (which last I heard was still a European
based firm) might like to see the 7E7 succeed, as they are providing a
couple of major systems for it.

If it doesn't succeed I'm sure they'll pick up business elsewhere. They're an
avionics supplier, their product isn't tied to a single airframe.


Likewise Rolls Royce would not mind continuing to sell engines for it.

Rolls Royce are probably rather more interested in the Trent 900 sales that'll
come from the A380 ( 4 per a/c too ! ) right now - and they're firm orders !
They are the launch engine provider after all.


Some ten nations have companies contributing to the 7E7 work right now.

But not making.
