After WWII, Europe was in shambles and Europeans were almost completely dependent on Americans and their economy. In this situation, a German man named Franz Josef Strauss had a dream: to reclaim the skies with a new airline born of cooperation between European countries. His passion for aviation led him to the foundation of Airbus, one of the most famous and versatile airliner manufacturers of present times. But in the beginning, Airbus had to fight against the fiercest competitor on the market, convince airlines that its products were both safe and efficient, and find ways to turn dreams into reality.

  • The A350 has turned me a life long Boeing person into a Airbus fan. What a beautiful piece of engineering.
  • Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in last month 2024

    Their commitment to safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility makes them a cornerstone of the global aviation industry, driving progress and connectivity worldwide.

    Aérospatiale is the real seed of airbus. They designed the planes and cockpits and British supplied wings and Germans parts of the aircraft body just as suppliers.
  • @EuropeanRailfan
    Airbus succeeded over the American manufacturers (Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, etc.) and the Soviet/Russian manufacturers (Ilyushin, Tupolev, etc.) to become #1.

    Very informative video. But the laziness of using AI narration really diminishes the quality of these videos.

    When one has zero knowledge about Airbus and Europe History, this altenative narrative presents FJ Strauss as the founder, inventor, god of Airbus! FJ Strauss was a fierce and successfull politician who deserves recognition, alright. But but but but... Airbus is a Franco-German-British invention where France and Germany have played an enormous role, and continue to do so. Shadowing the merit of French, German and British engineering, as well as Sud-Aviation, British Aircraft, Dornier, Dassault, Aérospatiale, to name the biggest, and presenting Strauss as he is presented here is a... joke.
  • @lonelysail906
    I believe that William Boeing also was originally a German.
  • @johnjeanb
    This is one of the many stories about Airbus birth. Another one is, following the Concorde cooperation between the UK and France (technically very successful but commercially a failure), a few European government tried to create Airbus (Germany, France and the UK).

    likes airbus video gets gunned down in his pickup truck by Boeing assassins

    The channels is very similar to Business Casual which seem inactive recently. Very informative

    Building something does require a single path where you can't deviate so I hope it's a good job done✌️
