Airbus' success forced Boeing to develop the rival 771 twinjet, yet by the early 1990s Airbus was winning as many orders for new aircraft as Boeing. In 2000 Airbus became o conventional shore-based company owned 20% by the European Aeronautics Defence and Space (EADS) Company and 20% by British BAE Systems. It immediately decided to develop o 'superjumbo', the 4380, with the potential to carry up to 850 passengers, depending on internal seat layout. In 2005 EADS become the sole owner of Airbus. The A380 made its first commercial flight in 2007.
Omni Case Write Up Situation Gentech is an office equipment company that manufactures a variety of office equipment. It is the world leader in the industry with sales over $4.2 billion. They are an extremely important client for Omni and its annual purchases from the company occasionally totaled up to $800K. They have experienced erosion of market share and profit margin due to foreign competition, and have fallen behind in utilizing advanced electronics design and manufacturing techniques. For this reason they are modernizing and automating their manufacturing facilities over 5 years at a cost between $45-$60 million.
military was racially segregated which reflected the racialstand of the rest of the country at that time. African-American and white units, but the U.S. Army Air Corp simply didn’t accepted any colored pilots because the colored men were believed they had lower intelligence, worse coordination, and slower reflexes. Urged by President Roosevelt, who wanted to win African-American support while running for his second term, the U.S. Air Corps conducted an experiment that consisted of giving an assemblage of young African-American men equal opportunities as their white pilots to test if colored men could become competent pilots who eventually became the Tuskegee Airmen (Homen). The soon to be pilots trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama, “hence the nickname, to become the first colored American pilots” (PBS). The first non-white aviation cadets began training in July 1941 and finished in March 1942, with five out of thirteen successfully completing the course soon enough nine hundred and ninety-four African American pilots graduated from the training throughout 1946 (Homen).

AIRBUS A380 History The 555 seat, double deck Airbus A380 is the world's largest airliner, easily eclipsing Boeing's 747. Airbus engineers led by Jean Roeder first began studies on a very large 500 seat airliner in the early 1990s. The European manufacturer saw developing a competitor and successor to the Boeing 747 as a strategic play to end Boeing's dominance of the very large airliner market and round out Airbus' product line-up. Airbus began engineering development work on such an aircraft, and then designated the A3XX, in June 1994. Airbus studied numerous design configurations for the A3XX and gave serious consideration to a single deck aircraft which would have seated 12 abreast and twin vertical tails.
During the 30’s the British developed a simple radio-controlled UAV called the Queen Bee. It could be landed for future reuse, reaching speeds of 160 km/h. Although instead of using it for offensive actions, it was mostly used for aerial target practice for British pilots. At the time of World War II, the National Socialist Party or Nazi party developed a UAV to be used against nonmilitary targets. The unmanned flying bomb or V-1 was responsible for more than 900 civilian deaths and 35,000 injured civilians.
