16. Boeing is considering whether it should develop its next aircraft with a wide body (WIDE) or whether it should make it a long aeroplane (LONG). Airbus, Boeing's competitor, also has a choice between choosing WIDE or LONG. The payoffs to the two companies are shown in the payoff matrix below. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium in this game? (The first action in the brackets is the strategy of Boeing, while the second is Airbus's strategy.)
