The current Airbus disc is made by Jouve, and it is not ATA (SFQL) compliant.
Jouve, has won the Boeing contract and is indeed producing an SFQL server for
them, and for the US/Japanese/European patent office. Version 2.0 of their
engine will thus be SFQL, and Airbus will also be SFQL based if they choose to
upgrade (I don't know about their contract–but I presume they will want to be
ATA compliant.)

By the way, Aerospatiale, part of the French aerospace family along with Airbus
(they make some of Airbus's planes and helicopters) was one of the early
supporters of SFQL–they built one of the first proof-of-concept prototypes to
demonstration that vendors retrieval engines could be interchangeable via SFQL.
