The Mob-e3 Imagine the Transport of the Future contest was launched by the Foundation and aimed at teenagers from 12 to 15 years old and mainly from areas targeted for special support in education.
Their mission: to design a transportation means for the future as real engineers do.
To help them in their research, the classes are invited to visit EADS sites and are supported by students and EADS ambassadors.

Flight Book
- The Flight Book awarded to high school students by Jean Botti, EADS Foundation President and Chief Technical Officer.
How do airplanes fly? What do satellites do? How do you control a helicopter? What happens when a plane takes off or lands? Will we be able to travel to other planets one day?
These are just some of the fascinating aerospace questions that are answered in this book, published by the EADS Corporate Foundation.
The inspiration behind Flight Book is to share with you the passion of the thousands of people at EADS and around the world who make flying in airplanes and helicopters possible, who help monitor the environment through satellite technology and who, with their ideas, lift men and women into space.

Aeronautical industry heritage
- Refurbishing of an Helicopter by students.
EADS’s commitment to nurturing scientific culture through education and protecting the heritage of aeronautics are at the heart of the helicopter Alouette II students restoration project from the French Aristide Briand High School, located in the socially disadvantaged area of Blanc-Mesnil near Paris.
The support of the EADS Foundation permitted the creation of this high school BTEC National diploma with a focus on aeronautical maintenance.
The young pupils worked in collaboration with engineers and technicians from Eurocopter La Courneuve and the volunteers from the association les Alouettes and Aerospatiale Matra Patrimoine EADS. They dismantled the helicopter, sandblasted and cleaned the blades, turbine and cockpit and painted it.
This project specifically provided an opportunity to build a bridge between two generations from different backgrounds and - hopfully - to foster an interest in the aerospace industry.
