EADS EFW A300 Freighter Conversion

Rising like a PhoenixEADS EFW (EADS Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH, literally: Elbe aircraft works) is a subsidiary and business unit of EADS in Dresden. It is located at the Dresden Airport and became the centre of freighter aircraft conversion in the EADS group.The Elbe Flugzeugwerke were founded in 1955 when Ilyushin Il-14 aircraft were built under license in Dresden. Concurrently the works started to develop and to test the Baade B-152, the GDR's own passenger jet program. The works employed up to 8000 personnel and some 25,000 in supplying industries which were bundled in a combined Volkseigener Betrieb in 1958.The second prototype of the B-152 crashed on 30 April 1958 and the aircraft development was delayed. After the GDR stopped its entire aircraft program in 1961, the VEB Flugzeugwerft Dresden became a maintenance work for MiG combat planes and Mil Helicopters of the Warsaw Pact air forces. It also maintained the Interflug Airbus A310 fleet which was delivered in 1989.After the reunification of Germany, VEB Flugzeugwerft Dresden was supported by Deutsche Airbus, Hamburg. The Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH was founded at 27 April 1990 by DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (DASA) and Airbus. Since DASA, Aérospatiale-Matra and Construcciones Aeronáuticas merged, EADS is the only owner of the Elbe Flugzeugwerke.Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH is a supplier of fiber-reinforced furnishing components used in Airbus planes since 1993. It has a capacity of up to 200,000 sandwich components per year.The company started to convert former passenger aircraft into freighters in 1996.
