I wouldn't call it the end of Airbus.Heck, even boeing had a hiccup in the 747 program back when they were test flying it (I seem to recall cases of the engine falling off when it wasn't supposed to as well as other delays). But now its a iconic plane, possibly the most recognizable plane on earth. I Think we should remember the case of B 247 vs. DC-3. We both know who won that battle. Boeing didn't even make many civil aircraft until WWII ended I think. To add, the A32X line at airbus is keeping Airbus going too, and there are still as many airlines ordering them as there are 737. Personally I think only time will tell. Who knows? Maybe EMB, Tupolev or even Sukoui might come in and compete with those two.
