Transall

Transall (Transport Allianz) was a consortium set up for the purpose of designing and manufacturing the Transall C-160 military transport aircraft.

The company was established during 1959 and was initially operated as a joint venture between Nord Aviation of France, and Weser Flugzeugbau (WFB) and Hamburger Flugzeugbau (HFB) of Germany. Later on, production was by French aerospace company Aérospatiale, and German aircraft manufacturers Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke (VFW), and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) respectively. Production of its sole product, the C-160, was terminated during 1985. Since then, all three companies merged together to form the multinational aerospace giant EADS, which subsequently rebranded itself as the Airbus Group.
