Manufacturer database
Manufacturer search
Look up any aircraft manufacturer in the world. How long they have been building, where they build it, what they are known for, and everything we have published about them.
Try: Airbus Boeing Embraer De Havilland
Start with a manufacturer
Type the company name and you will get how long they have been building, who founded them, where they are based, what they are known for and a short brief.
Manufacturers that closed decades ago are in here too, which is useful when an old airframe turns up.
