EADS

EADS, now known as Airbus Group, was a major European aerospace and defense corporation formed through the merger of several companies. It specialized in designing and manufacturing commercial aircraft, military planes, helicopters, and space systems. Think of EADS as a large, multinational company that builds the aircraft and equipment used by airlines, militaries, and space agencies worldwide. It aimed to consolidate European expertise in aerospace to compete globally with other major manufacturers like Boeing. In 2014, EADS rebranded itself as Airbus Group, emphasizing its focus on commercial aircraft production under the well-known Airbus brand.
