I'm not sure the A380 is negative for American aviation, but your entitled to your opinion. Of course, Airbus has a few Euro-government to bail it out if it loses big on the project.

To aviation as a whole no.... but I'm sure the US aviation industry takes a figurative blow when it's "Jumbo Jet" is no longer Jumbo.....
I've read some debates as to whether Airbus is indeed being government subsidized. I'm not sure Airbus how can have 3 major projects going...A380, A400M, and the new A350 without it. The capital to develop those three platforms is staggering.....
