Airbus history
Airbus was formally agreed in 1967. Ministers from France, Germany, and Britain agreed “for the purpose of strengthening European co-operation in the field of aviation technology and thereby promoting economic and technological progress in Europe, to take appropriate measures for the joint development and production of an airbus.”
At the Le Bourget airshow in Paris, France. French minster for transport Jean Chamant sat down with Karl Schiller in an attempt to design the cabin of a new aircraft destined to reshape the aviation industry. Jean Chamant and Karl Schiller signed an agreement officially launching the A300. This was the world’s first twin-engine wide body passenger jet. This was to be built by a German-French consortium with help from the Dutch and British.
The go ahead of the A300 was the formal beginning of the Airbus programme. The Paris airshow 1969 was the official birth of the joint partnership between the Europeans, This was an idea that could have failed miserably without the passion and dedication that the Airbus Pioneers gave in order to make it succeed.
Criticism
Roger Béteille, Felix Kracht, Henri Ziegler and Franz-Josef Strauss where told numerous times how a wide body passenger jet could not be operated over long distances safely with just twin-engines. Three engines was the accepted minimum. Béteille, Kracht, Ziegler and Franz-Josef Strauss had no choice but pursue their intentions to build the first twin-engine aircraft as they had set out to reshape the aviation industry.
