This issue examines the rivalry between major aviation companies in Europe and the United States and how they managed to dominate the manufacture of wide-body aircraft for airlines worldwide. The authors look back to the early days and discover how each of the aviation giants established itself as a global market leader, with Boeing dating back to the interwar years and its rivalry with Douglas and Lockheed. In the United Kingdom, the Comet and Viscount were among the leading commercial aircraft after the Second World War, before being included in the first Anglo-French programme that paved the way for international cooperation in aerospace in Europe. Today, the Boeing 737 Max is the answer to the hugely successful Airbus A320 NEO, but its grounding after two fatal accidents calls into question the company's commitment to safety. Meanwhile, the global Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 is presenting airlines and aircraft manufacturers worldwide with unprecedented challenges. How will this affect the rivalry between the world's two largest aircraft manufacturers?
