While many European aircraft were innovative, even the most successful had small production runs.

Both American and West European military aircraft are based within easy range of those targets.

Efforts to mass produce European aircraft under license largely failed because the aircraft, made by hand, were not amenable to American manufacturing methods.

Later, Sikorsky built the two-seat S-5, his first design not based on other European aircraft.

This varies between Russia, American, and European aircraft.

At this point, European aircraft had greatly surpassed US designs.

This should not be the safety of our own European aircraft, but that of third-country aircraft as well.

Sixty European aircraft are operating over Libya - 60 deaf and blind aircraft.

European aircraft would then be able to benefit from American airborne battlefield surveillance.

They initially procured European aircraft but quickly built their own and launched themselves onto an ambitious aircraft carrier building program.
