PARIS, July 22 (Reuters) - The head of French warplane

maker Dassault Aviation called for clearer leadership

and organisation of the SCAF/FCAS fighter programme and raised

the possibility of the Franco-German-Spanish project collapsing

if an agreement could not be reached.

CEO Eric Trappier, speaking at an earnings conference,

however denied reports that Dassault was seeking 80% control of

the programme that it is developing alongside Europe's Airbus

.

He said that "it is not a question of leaving SCAF but of

deciding if it continues or not".

Airbus declined comment.
