Dual-use tech: the Airbus example
"Airbus SE (formerly EADS) is one of the world's largest aerospace companies by multiple metrics (market cap, revenue and profit) and is the product of decades of mergers between European aerospace firms. The company's success is underpinned by state benevolence, since the governments of France, Germany, and Spain together have a share ownership of over 25%. The Group is divided into three distinct branches:"
"Airbus, the commercial aircraft builder; Airbus Helicopters, which supplies military and commercial customers; and Airbus Defence and Space, which manufactures satellites, drones and military jets. The company is best known for its commercial aircraft, which represents nearly three-quarters of its income, with planes such as the A320 having become a staple of many commercial airlines."
Airbus SE is a major European aerospace company formed through decades of mergers and operates across commercial, helicopter, and defence and space segments. Major shareholder support comes from France, Germany, and Spain, which together hold over 25% ownership. The Group comprises three branches: Airbus (commercial aircraft), Airbus Helicopters (military and commercial helicopter customers), and Airbus Defence and Space (satellites, drones, military jets). Commercial aircraft account for roughly three-quarters of group income, with models like the A320 widely used by airlines globally and forming a core revenue driver.
