INNOVATION FROM THE START
Since the company’s inception, Airbus has established itself as a pioneer in aircraft design, with a track record of innovation that includes its introduction of fly-by-wire technology in civil airliners, the development of composite aerostructures and the use of advanced materials and aerodynamics.
From the cornerstone A300 programme to the next-generation A350 XWB widebody, Airbus long has relied on advanced technologies and industry-leading design tools to develop a product line of jetliners that is more economical, highly reliable and better for the environment.
