04 Airbus in Germany Worldwide growth thanks to European best performance Since the group s formation, the number of employees has increased by 52%. In the home countries of Germany, France, Great Britain and Spain alone, the number of employees has increased by 30,000 since the formation of Airbus (EADS) in 2000. Today, the bulk of the order volume comes from markets outside Europe. In 2017, Airbus home markets accounted for around 7% of new orders. The Group faces a trend of increasing internationalisation with a growing global presence. Examples include the final assembly lines in Tianjin (China) and in Mobile, Alabama (USA). In addition, Airbus manufactures helicopters in Brazil, maintains research centres in Singapore, India, the US, China and Russia, and operates maintenance, repair and overhaul centres on five continents. In late 2017, Airbus announced that it would establish its Airbus China Innovation Centre (ACIC) in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, widely considered to be the Silicon Valley of China. 90% 10% 2017 Total: 129,442 Home countries: 116,560 Employees

Airbus as a powerhouse for the economy In 2017, Airbus generated revenues of around 4.7 billion in Germany. The group worked together with more than 10,000 external suppliers in Germany and bought goods and services worth 8.3 billion in 2017. Airbus as a pioneer of innovation With cumulative self-financed research and development investments exceeding 30 billion since 2000, the company has expanded its portfolio of patents to more than 37,000. Additionally in 2017, Airbus invested 2.8 billion in research and development. The focus is on environmentally friendly technologies such as alternative drive systems, lightweight construction and 3D printing. Another multiplier for innovative ideas is cooperation with partners from research and SMEs (for example, the Centre for Applied Aeronautical Research in Hamburg, the CFK Valley Stade and the Ludwig Bölkow Campus in Ottobrunn near Munich).

10 Airbus in Germany Urban mobility In 2030, 60 percent of the global population will live in cities. Half a dozen new megacities will be built by then, and old metropolises will continue to grow. Urban planners are also faced with the task of enabling mobility in these giant cities in the future. Airbus is working on revolutionary concepts to revolutionise mass transit. The goal is to simply fly over the traffic jam. Airbus innovation centres around the globe are generating ground-breaking ideas. In order to accelerate the topic in its corporate s research, Airbus has founded Urban Air Mobility. There, among other things, further research is being conducted into the technological requirements for unmanned aerial systems. Under the project name Vahana, the Group s own A3 think tank in Silicon Valley has been developing an autonomous aircraft since 2016 that is intended to transport individual passengers or cargo using the car-sharing principle. The customer orders an airplane using an app, gets in the plane at the nearest landing site and flies to their destination. Flight tests have already been carried out with the first prototype. Airbus Helicopters in Donauwörth has been advancing a similar project for about two years. The CityAirbus is intended to carry up to four people who have previously ordered a seat via the app. A journey will cost little more than a taxi ride. Already in 2018, the first prototype will fly first with a pilot, and later autonomously. Concept vehicle Pop.Up In addition, Airbus Helicopters and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore have successfully tested a drone-based parcel delivery service over urban areas. The service is offered on the campus of the National University of Singapore. The results will serve as a decisionmaking tool for governments around the world to further develop drone regulations.
Airbus in Germany 11 Eco-efficiency through innovation Through the introduction of new technologies and operational improvements, the aviation industry has, over the past 50 years, achieved the following goals: increasing fuel efficiency and reducing CO 2 emissions by more than 70 percent, reducing NOx emissions by 90 percent, and reducing noise pollution by 75 percent. By 2020, air traffic is to be CO 2 - neutral worldwide and by 2050, CO 2 emissions should have gone down by 75%. This will only be possible with state-of-the-art technology and efficient aircraft. For example, with the A350 XWB, Airbus is setting new standards in terms of CO 2 and noise emissions: the aircraft consumes 25 percent less fuel thanks to a high percentage of carbon fibres and innovative aerodynamics. New technologies ensure that the A350 XWB will reduce the current noise limits by up to 16 decibels. Ten decibels less corresponds to cutting the perceived noise in half. The A320neo family is also 15 decibels lower than the ICAO category Chapter 4 the highest noise protection requirement and consumes up to 15 percent less kerosene. Airbus Helicopters is constantly working on innovations to increase the ecoefficiency of its products and locations. The most important goals are to reduce fuel consumption, reduce noise levels and reduce CO 2 and NOx emissions through technologies such as diesel engines. In the H145, the extremely quiet Fenestron tail rotor ensures a significantly lower noise signature. Thus, the helicopter is 8.5 db quieter than required. With the H160, Airbus Helicopters sets completely new standards for medium-heavy helicopters. The H160 is the first civilian helicopter made entirely of composite materials. Another technological breakthrough is the first-ever standard use of Blue Edge rotor blades for the main rotor, which are up to 50 percent (3 db) quieter than conventional rotors, depending on flight conditions, and allow up to 100 kilograms more payload.
12 Airbus in Germany Airbus Defence and Space is developing electric drives for orbit-raising satellites in orbit to replace conventional chemical drives. ESA s Neosat project will develop satellites that, when disconnected from the launcher, will use electric propulsion to reach their final operational orbit and maintain their orbital position. Airbus Defence and Space satellites help governments and businesses address environmental issues by providing observational services, quantifying the effects of climate change, and delivering high quality geoinformation in areas such as agriculture, deforestation, and environmental monitoring. These examples underscore Airbus commitment to climate protection and ecoefficiency. However, the company is already going a step further and is pursuing the ambitious goal of electric flying. Together with other industrial companies, Airbus is currently working on electric and hybrid drives with an output of up to four megawatts. The aim is to introduce primarily electrically-powered hybrid models for short-haul and medium-haul flights in the not too distant future.
Airbus in Germany 13 Talents Innovative working time models give Airbus employees the opportunity to reconcile family and work. With job sharing, for example, two employees share one job. The Part-time Leadership and Teleworking initiative has also proven itself in the company. Thanks to the flexible Care for Life account, employees gain more flexibility in order to adapt to special life situations and better reconcile family and work life. They are able to take a break for a leave of absence for a certain period of time or to allow them to look after close relatives. Characteristic of both models is the proportionate salary payment guaranteed by the company to continue ensuring a financial basis. The assurance of re-entry allows parents to spend a lot of time with their offspring. The return process ensures a smooth start after parental leave. The offspring in the group s own day care centres comes into contact with scientific topics at an early age.
