':!S«t;»t||i- Leadershi British Aircraft Corporation designs and builds leaders in every field of Aerospace. Concorde - with Aerospatiale France - will halve the world in size with supersonic services from 1975; One-Eleven 475 brings mainline jet services to the small fields; QTOL - with Saab of Sweden and MBB of Germany - will bring the boon of Quiet Take-Off and Landing to the world's airports; Jaguar - with Dassault/ Breguet - is the most cost-effective tactical support aircraft in production today; MRCA - with MBB and Aeritalia - is Europe's most important military aircraft, while Strikemaster has already been chosen by nine nations for ground attack and training. Rapier has revolutionised the concept of missile defence against tree-top aircraft attacks, just as Swingfire has changed the balance of power in the ground fight against tanks. We can say little of the surface-to-air Seawolf and helicopter-borne air-to-surface CL834 weapon systems, save that each is a world leader in its class. BAC's Space programmes are, beyond challenge, the most successful in Europe and include BAC teamwork on Intelsat IV with Hughes Aircraft and on the remarkable Space Shuttle with North American Rockwell A BRITISH AIRCRAFT CORPORATION 100 PALL MALL LONDON SW1 BAC327
