Daimler Aerospace (DASA, Germany), Aerospatiale Matra (France), and Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA, Spain) combined to form the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS). EADS is Europe's largest aerospace firm; worldwide it trails only Boeing. EADS' largest holding is Airbus (BAE SYSTEMS sold its 20% stake in Airbus back to EADS in 2006), which has surpassed Boeing as the world's leading maker of large commercial aircraft. Other operations include helicopters (Eurocopter), business and military jets (46% of Dassault Aviation and 43% of Eurofighter), satellites (Astrium), missiles (38% of MBDA), and commercial satellite launch systems (about 30% of Arianespace).
