This includes aircraft and parts used for civil aviation and military aviation. Most production is done pursuant to type certificates and Defense Standards issued by a government body. This term has been largely subsumed by the more encompassing term: "aerospace industry".

Bölkow Bo 209
The MBB Bo 209 Monsun (originally the Bölkow MHK-101) is a two-seat light aircraft that was designed by the West German company Bölkow and originally produced by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB). The Bo 209 was designed during the mid 1960s, initially as a modest undertaking, to produce a successor to the Bölkow Bo 208. It was a more versatile aircraft that possessed a larger cockpit and a new foldable wing while also retaining some commonality with the Bo 208. The cockpit could be furnished with a wide array of instrumentation options. On 22 December 1967, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight. In April 1969, the type was formally selected to replace the Bo 208 in production; the Bo 209 made its first public appearance later that same year. However, in March 1972, MBB (into which Bölkow had merged) announced that it would terminate production of the Bo 209 after completing 100 aircraft. There have been several efforts since the early 1970s to produce the Bo 209. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
