Has anyone bothered to look into EADS North America? The American branch of this company of several parts, including Airbus, Ariane, space vehicles, etc. EADS is a major operator in the ESA group whose 'space tug,' launched from its Guiana site, is on its way to supply the space station; it will be the major carrier of supplies.

EADS is delivering on schedule the U. S. Army's UH-72A Lakota helicopters, some 20 received and accepted so far.

Its military tanker is state of the art; not only will it supply the U. S. long range flights with fuel, but has been selected by the UK and Australian airforces as well as by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The tanker has been selected on the basis of mission capability, proposal risk, past performance, cost/price and an integrated fleet air refueling assessment.
Looking ahead to the future, this tanker may supply fuel to new design long range air cargo planes.

The EADS Combat Support Hospital is being evaluated by the U. S. Army.

EADS operates in 31 cities in the U. S. and supports 190,000 jobs in the States. Fairchild Controls is an important adjunct.
