 Giorgio Zappa, President, Alenia Aerospazio
That's the opinion of Giorgio Zappa, president of Alenia Aerospazio, which is combining all its aerospace assets with the military and aerostructures activities of EADS to form what is loosely called the European Military Aircraft Company.
While Alenia's parent, Finmeccanica, will become a 10% risk sharing partner in A3XX and will likely exercise its option to take a 5% share of the Airbus Integrated Company, the JV will evolve into a major aerostructures company supplying both Boeing and Airbus.
Alenia already has strong transatlantic ties on the aerostructures side with Boeing (it builds the fuselage for the 717 and tailsets and composite moving surfaces for the 767 and 777), and with Lockheed Martin, its partner on the C-27J.
