Airbus at a glance
Concorde, which translates to "harmony" or "union" in French was built by two aviation giants - Aerospatiale (which later became Airbus) and the UK's British Aircraft Corporation (BAC)
The Origin Story
At a meeting in July 1967, ministers from France, Germany and Britain agreed “for the purpose of strengthening European co-operation in the field of aviation technology and thereby promoting economic and technological progress in Europe, to take appropriate measures for the joint development and production of an airbus.”
