Judicial authorities overseeing a deferred prosecution arrangement with Airbus have described as “endemic” the bribery linked to its commercial aircraft and defence divisions, as details emerged of activities scrutinised by fraud investigators.
Airbus has agreed to pay a €3.6 billion fine to settle multiple investigations from French, UK and US authorities.
While a French arrangement covers the largest part of the fine, over €2 billion, court approval of the UK portion of the settlement, over €990 million, has been accompanied by an agreed statement of facts about the alleged offences of failure to prevent bribery.

Fino a 15%di consumi in meno, mi aspettavo di meglio. Comandi di volo convenzionali, no fly by wire.. 

Formula progettuale definita convenzionale? 

Economico.. 

Eliche sporgenti, anche se meno rispetto al dimostratore

Questi i miei dubbi
