European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V.
 PROFILE
It's flying alphabet soup! DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA, Germany), Aerospatiale Matra (France), and Construcciones Aeronauticas SA (CASA, Spain) have formed the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS). EADS is Europe's largest aerospace firm and trails only the US's Boeing and Lockheed Martin in size. EADS owns an 80% stake in Airbus, now neck-and-neck with Boeing in production of passenger jets (BAE SYSTEMS owns the other 20%). EADS also has leading positions in helicopters (Eurocopter) and commercial satellite launchers (Arianespace). The company's complex ownership and management structure (German and French co-CEOs) is designed to ensure a balance of power between French and German interests.
