Avio does the Ariane SRBs & it is an Italian company.

It's another 50% joint venture?

  • Who owns how much of the enterprise says little about who contributes to and owns control and know-how of the project. This is even more true for a political project like the Ariane.

    Not to diminish France's contribution but without Germany and Italy there would be no Ariane. France could not build one and could not fly one.
