Bombardier makes the goods to get people moving. Its Bombardier Aerospace subsidiary (the world's #3 maker of civil aircraft behind Boeing and Airbus) brings in 65% of sales with business aircraft (Challenger, Learjet), regional aircraft (Canadair, de Havilland), and amphibious aircraft. The company's Bombardier Transportation division -- which added DaimlerChrysler's Adtranz rail systems unit in 2001 -- is the world's largest producer of railway equipment such as subway cars, tramways, and high-speed-train equipment. Other Bombardier subsidiaries produce Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and Sea-Doo personal watercraft. The Bombardier family controls the company.
