For decades after World War II, the skies were dominated by American giants-Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Lockheed. Europe, fragmented and reeling from economic and industrial decline, struggled to assert itself in the rapidly growing commercial aviation market. Airbus: Building Europe's Airliner Empire tells the compelling, fact-driven story of how a bold multinational vision evolved into one of the most successful industrial projects in modern history.

For decades after World War II, the skies were dominated by American giants-Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Lockheed. Europe, fragmented and reeling from economic and industrial decline, struggled to assert itself in the rapidly growing commercial aviation market. Airbus: Building Europe's Airliner Empire tells the compelling, fact-driven story of how a bold multinational vision evolved into one of the most successful industrial projects in modern history. From the early frustrations and political compromise of the Airbus consortium's founding, to the engineering triumphs of the A300, A320, and A350, this book charts the rise of a company that defied expectations and reshaped global aviation. It explores game-changing innovations like fly-by-wire controls, the challenges and triumphs of the superjumbo A380, and Airbus's response to fierce competition with Boeing in both widebody and narrowbody markets. Through detailed narrative and a deep understanding of industrial policy, aerospace engineering, and international cooperation, this book traces how Airbus navigated crises, transformed its corporate structure, and embraced global production to become the world's leading commercial aircraft manufacturer. With more than five decades of achievements, controversies, and bold decisions, Airbus's story is more than that of a corporation-it is a testament to the power of unity, vision, and technological ambition on a global scale.
