Article Abstract:

France's Airbus S.A.S. and General Electric Co. have run into a disagreement over the jet engines GE is supplying for the Airbus A350 airplane. The A350 is designed to compete with American rival Boeing Co.'s 777 model, for which GE also supplies the engines. However, GE officials have indicated to Airbus they will not manufacture a new engine that competes with the 777.
