Book excerpt: Poised for takeoff on that hot morning in April 2005, the Airbus A380 had the purposeful, powerful presence of a giant predatory bird. With its enormous gulled wings, imperiously tall tail, and broad, domed forepeak, it looked ready to take on the world. And along the way, it has had plenty of supporters—and critics. No civil airliner since the supersonic Concorde has aroused such emotion, such fascination, and such cause célèbre. To a confident Airbus and the thousands of awestruck workers who cheered it into that cloudless sky over Toulouse, it means so much more. The European company has been transformed under the broad wings of this incredible project into a single corporate entity—from a loose consortium into a new, more dynamic force to challenge its worthy adversary Boeing in every market sector.

Book excerpt: The commercial airline industry is one of the most volatile, dog-eat-dog enterprises in the world, and in the late 1990s, Europe’s Airbus overtook America’s Boeing as the preeminent aircraft manufacturer. However, Airbus quickly succumbed to the same complacency it once challenged, and Boeing regained its precarious place on top. Now, after years of heated battle and mismanagement, both companies face the challenge of serving burgeoning Asian markets and stiff competition from China and Japan. Combining insider knowledge with vivid prose and insight, John Newhouse delivers a riveting story of these two titans of the sky and their struggles to stay in the air.

This book was released on 2007-07-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aircraft manufacturer Airbus was established in 1970 by the French, German and UK governments (with the Spanish government joining a year later) in order to develop a coordinated and collaborative European response to the dominance of the global civil aviation market by American companies. Since October 2006, following the decision by BAE Systems to sell its stake in the company, Airbus has been wholly owned by EADS (a joint venture between its French, German and Spanish parent companies).Recent Developments with Airbus (HC 427-I) examines recent challenges faced by Airbus, including reduced competitiveness as a result of the weak US dollar, delays and cost overruns in its flagship A380 aircraft, its restructuring programme, and the financing of the A350 XWB project. It also looks at the future role for the UK Government and the Regional Development Agencies, the implementation of the UK's National Aerospace Technology Strategy, and the impact of the current World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute between the US and the European Union (EU) over government subsidies.Given the fact that the sale of BAE's stake in the company has left the UK without a significant shareholding in

Book excerpt: Every 7 minutes, an A380 takes off or lands somewhere in the world...??The Airbus was initially designed and developed in order to provide a contender to the Boeing's growing monopoly of the skies in the biggest large-aircraft market in the world. Ambitious in design, the undertaking seemed mammoth. Yet scores of aviation engineers and pilots worked to get the design off the ground and the Airbus in our skies. This double-decker, wide-body, 4 engine jet airliner promised to redefine expectations when it came to commercial flight. Five years on from its launch, Graham Simons provides us with this, an impressively illustrated narrative history of the craft, its achievements, and the legacy it looks set to provide to a new generation of aviation engineers, enthusiasts and passengers.??Operated by airlines such as Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Quantas and Lufthansa, the story of the A380 could be said to represent the story of modern-day travel itself, characterised by major technological advances across the world that constantly push the boundaries of expectation. ??Sure to appeal broadly across the market, this is very much a commemorative volume, preserving the history of this iconic craft in words and images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This book chronicles an insider's account of more than two decades of how Boeing fought back in the extremely fierce, high-stakes, and highly political quest for global aviation supremacy.

This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: First Class, University of Bradford (School of Management), language: English, abstract: This report will give a comprehensive analysis of Airbus based on strategic analysis (internal and external) and strategic formulation and will conclude with a recommendation. One of the most vital tools for human success is strategy. Even- though influential people for example, Barrack Obama, and Warren Buffet epitomizes luck, what really made them successful was to have a clear goal, understanding of their competitive environment and most importantly, identifying opportunity when they appeared and to have the clarity of direction and the tractability necessary to exploit these chances- effective implementation. Reason is that without a consistency of direction, based on understanding their environment and a keen awareness of how to maneuver into a position of advantage, competitors will out-compete them. Therefore, strategy refers to having a succinct and articulate goal, and plans to achieving it - put succinctly, a good strategy is about winning. In light of constant change and relentless competition ,strategy becomes less about building positions of sustained competitive advantage rather, more about developing the responsiveness and flexibility to create successive temporary advantages-the economic downturn in 2008-9, is encouraging new thinking about the purpose of business. Disillusion with “shareholder value capitalism” has been accompanied by renewed interest in corporate social responsibility, ethics, and sustainability of the natural environment and the role of social legitimacy in long-term corporate success.
Download or read book Airbus Power 8 Cost Reduction Program written by Michael Kumke and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,0, University of Gloucestershire, language: English, abstract: In times of Globalization and Internationalization major national companies become "global" in terms of structure, purchase or production. Great "geopolitical" supra national bodies like the European Union ( EU ) play an important role in terms of regulating trade-traffic or improving the economic standard for its members. The multinational aircraft manufacturer, Airbus S.A.S, is a good example to emphasize how corporate goals do not always equate with EU ideals. The purpose of this report is to identify those disputes relating to the current cost reduction program of Airbus called "Power 8". By handling the agenda the lead question will be discussed. Recommondations in the last part mention proposals concerning political issues in regional and environmental policy. As a whole this report gives an overview concerning the disputes of a margin orientated company and the EU with the economic interest of all its members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: QF32 is the award winning bestseller from Richard de Crespigny, author of the forthcoming Fly!: Life Lessons from the Cockpit of QF32 On 4 November 2010, a flight from Singapore to Sydney came within a knife edge of being one of the world's worst air disasters. Shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered Engine 2 of Qantas flight QF32 - an Airbus A380, the largest and most advanced passenger plane ever built. Hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripped through the wing and fuselage, creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were destroyed or degraded. In other hands, the plane might have been lost with all 469 people on board, but a supremely experienced flight crew, led by Captain Richard de Crespigny, managed to land the crippled aircraft and safely disembark the passengers after hours of nerve-racking effort. Tracing Richard's life and career up until that fateful flight, QF32 shows exactly what goes into the making of a top-level airline pilot, and the extraordinary skills and training needed to keep us safe in the air. Fascinating in its detail and vividly compelling in its narrative, QF32 is the riveting, blow-by-blow story of just what happens when things go badly wrong in the air, told by the captain himself.
