According to Airbus, the development costs of the A380 stand at about
10.7 billion dollars (8.4 billion euros) and the average catalogue
price of each aircraft is 300 million dollars (235 million euros).

How can they make money on this? It will take 36 of these things,
just to cover the development cost, if they could build them for
free.
The reality is they probably lose money at $300 million

They were involved. Jus did not do a good job. Not much different than
they have done for a lot if years. Thalidomide is actually coming back as a
anti-cancer drug. The same effect that it had on the growing fetus, is a
good anti-cancer item. Thalidomide stopped the formation of new blood
vessels, which is one of the things that cancers require.
