PROFILE |
 |
It's fitting that BAE SYSTEMS (formerly British Aerospace), which helped win the Battle of Britain with its Mosquito and Spitfire fighters, is one of Europe's largest defense contractors (it's the world's # 4 defense and aerospace firm behind Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and EADS). BAE makes avionics, civil and military aircraft, communications, radar, ships, space systems, and electronics (it bought a group of defense electronics companies from Lockheed Martin). BAE's fighter aircraft include the Harrier, Hawk, and the next-generation Eurofighter Typhoon. The company also makes tactical missiles and Avro regional jet aircraft. Additionally, it owns 20% of Airbus, Boeing's only competitor for large commercial aircraft.
