Quote:
A350-800 XWB list price $186 million
The pricing data alone indicates which airplane the A350XWB is really aimed at.
The A350 is simply not price-competitive to the 787.

Zvezda 747 outsells A380

Since Airbus began taking WhaleJet orders (beginning 2000), it has been outsold by the JumboJet (202 to 160). Since the launch of the 747-8, it has outsold the WhaleJet 87 to 3 (counting both the recent AF and EK top-up orders, which I'm not sure have been signed).

The 747-8 will very likely sell enough frames to be profitable

Already has.
