The three Ambassadors learned about Filton's lines of work alongside the company's engineers. They then participated in a discussion regarding the challenges facing the European defence industry, which highlighted the importance of strengthening our resilience and technological sovereignty.
Airbus is a successful example of cooperation in the defence industry between Spain, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The wings for most of Airbus's civil and military aircraft are designed and manufactured in Filton. Such is the case with the wings of the A400M military transport aircraft, whose final assembly takes place at the Airbus factory in Seville.
