[edit] Criticisms should be documented
One should perhaps get some external links documenting the 'arms dealing' criticisms of EADS -- the criticisms shouldn't just stand there as is.

[edit] Company, not consortium
EADS is not a consortium, while Airbus used to be one. A consortium is just an alliance of companies, EADS is a single company. David.Monniaux 23:54, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Military Aircraft division
In my attempt at improving the layout of the subdivision section, I tentatively outlined the Mil. Aircraft div. as consisting of Eurocopter and Dassault. Is this correct or not, and if not could someone more knowledgeable fix it? --Wernher 23:24, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Great aircraft pictures!
Hey, thanks ≈1.0E06 to H1523702 for entering the two EADS airplane photos into the artice; IMO, they greatly improved it (made it much more visually appealing)! :-) --Wernher 23:54, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Locations
Anonymous edit before mine rearranged the locations (and broke the layout slightly by eliminating a <br>). Rearranged and added Spain to match the listing on EADS' site:
the road to the formation of EADS was paved with many partnerships and joint projects at Aerospatiale Matra, CASA and Dasa

[edit] Airbus percentage
This article says EADS holds 75% of Airbus, but Airbus says Airbus is jointly held by EADS (80%). --Abdull 18:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, even the main body text of this article says 80% too, which is correct. The 75% was my mistake when updating infobox. Nice catch. Mark83 18:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Here's a thought. This article is really short. Let's face it...Aérospatiale-Matra was only created to facilitate the creation of EADS. It lived a very short life. Perhaps we should merge this article with EADS and include it as a section? —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 15:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. It was a major company - short lived or not. European defence mergers can be extremely confusing, having a link and separate article for Aérospatiale-Matra allows the various companies and mergers to be explained clearly. I'm not sure about "was only created to facilitate the creation of EADS". BAe sought a partner for its missile division for a very long time, including Thomson-CSF. Mark83 13:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
EADS NA Defense Security and Systems Solutions, Inc. link added to EADS website.
- What relationship does this company and link have with European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V.?
