Northrop Grumman Corp

EADS CEO Louis Gallois addresses the EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space company) annual results press conference on March 9, 2010 in Paris. European aerospace giant EADS accused the US government of skewing a huge military contract towards rival Boeing and also revealed a plunge into loss because of a military project in Europe. EADS, which makes Airbus airliners, strongly attacked the bidding process in the United States, and also posted a net loss for 2009 owing to huge cost over-runs on its separate A400M military transport plane for seven NATO clients. But Louis Gallois insisted that the company would not abandon efforts to boost its business in the United States, despite dropping a joint bid with US partner Northrop Grumman to build airborne refuelling aircraft.
