Built here
By Americans, for Americans
EADS North America’s commitment to provide the American warfighter with the only world-class aerial refueling tanker actually flying today also will create high-value aerospace jobs for American workers. Built here in the U.S., the KC-45 will create and support tens of thousands of jobs across the country.
Our state-of-the-art tanker aircraft will be built in Mobile, Alabama, at the country’s newest aviation production center, where we also will produce a commercial freighter based on the same platform, for a combined production of as many as 40 aircraft annually.
EADS in America
EADS North America is proud of its track record of providing the American military with superior, made-in-America aircraft, on schedule and on budget. We currently supply the U.S. Army and Navy with the American-produced, highly successful UH-72 Lakota helicopter, recognized by the Defense Department as one of just five model acquisition programs.
Overall, EADS contributes more than $11 billion annually to the U.S. economy, and supports more than 200,000 American jobs through an expansive network of suppliers and services.
