	Airbus
		Airbus began as a consortium of European aviation firms to compete with the might of the American firms such as Boeing.
		Airbus Industrie was set up in 1970 following an agreement between Aerospatiale (France) and Deutsche Aerospace[?] (Germany) (joined by CASA of Spain in 1971) to develop the A300, which first flew in 1972.
		Currently there are around 1600 Airbus aircraft in service, with Airbus having around 50% of outstanding build orders (1999), although Airbus products are still outnumbered 6 to 1 by in- service Boeings.

	Airbus - media - A320 Family
		Whilst preserving the unique benefits of Airbus commonality, the A318 is pioneering the introduction of a number of enhanced aircraft systems throughout the A320 Family, which improve the overall reliability and reduce maintenance and initial provisioning costs.
		All A320 Family members share the same type rating, therefore pilots qualified on one can fly any of the others without additional training, and the aircraft can all be maintained by the same team of mechanics.
		Thanks to Airbus' unique family concept and the exceptional degree of operational commonality among all Airbus fly-by-wire jets, transition from the single-aisles to larger long-range aircraft is also fast and simple, requiring only minimal additional training.

	Airbus Resources & Information - airbus a330/a340
		Airbus is given launch aid from European governments with the money being paid back with interest, but only if the plane is a commercial success[1], and contends that this is fully compliant with the 1992 agreement and WTO rules.
		The name "Airbus" was taken from a non-proprietary term used by the airline industry in the 1960s to refer to a commercial aircraft of a jet certain size and range, for this term was acceptable to the French linguistically.
		An original solution airbus to the problem barbara of moving aircraft parts between the different factories and the assembly plants is the use of "Beluga" specially enlarged jets, capable of carrying entire sections of fuselage of Airbus aircraft.

		By introducing the Airbus A310 and A300-600, the application of the glass-cockpit concept was continued.
		FBW in the A320 means, that control inputs are relayed through wires and hydraulic servos to the flight controls.
		According to the Airbus engineers, the big advantage of EFCS is the always present control which protects the aircraft from dangerous flight conditions such as stalls, over-speeds or uncontrolled flight.

	Airliners.net: Airbus A320
		Perhaps the most important contributor to Airbus Industrie's success as an airliner manufacturer, the four member A320 family is a significant sales success and a technological trailblazer.
		The A320 is perhaps best known as the first airliner to introduce a fly-by-wire flight control system - where control inputs from the pilot are transmitted to the flying surfaces by electronic signals rather than mechanical means.
		Apart from a small weight saving, the advantage of Airbus' fly-by-wire is that as it is computer controlled, an inbuilt flight envelope protection makes it virtually impossible to exceed certain flight parameters such as G limits and the aircraft's maximum and minimum operating speeds and angle of attack limits.
