of new entrants, substitute products (or services), and the power of purchasers and suppliers (Mintzberg et al 2008). Porter does not see these external factors as working alone, they act
in relationship to each other. The first force is the influence of existing competitors or rivalry. The structure here was one of
existing dominance by Boeing, but with a high level of competition for Airbus. Rivalry between these two firms is high, as Airbus are increasing the challenge and in 2003 they
outsold Boeing for the first time (McAuley, 2003). In the large commercial airliner segment these are the two main firms, and both seek to compete with differentiation. Airbus has developed
a reputation for innovation led by the A300/A310 family of aircraft and the A320 family which had the trademark "fly by wire" technology installed (Esty, 2008).

However Boeing adapted and took onboard similar technology in their Boeing 777 range. The way that they are competing today reveals different views of the market; Airbus has developed the
