European aircraft manufacturers could not compete with American rivals on their own. Yet they wanted to change that. How was the foundation of the Airbus factory laid at the end of the 60s? What role did the British, French, Germans and Spanish play? How was the first type of the great European aircraft factory born? Why did they decide to immediately try to launch a wide-body aircraft? Thousands of tasks awaited the engineers, designers and logisticians until the first Airbus A300 could take off. How was the work of production units hundreds of kilometers apart coordinated? How challenging was it to get the large items to the South of France? And what special aircraft later helped the scheduled production of the A300s? Géza Zainkó, the exhibition manager of the Aeropark, also talks about how the European aircraft manufacturer entered the American market.
