 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.
