FFA AS 202 Bravo

In the years following World War II, FFA manufactured fighter aircraft for the Swiss Air Force, based on Morane-Saulnier designs as the D-3803. These were eventually replaced in service by surplus P-51 Mustangs.

In the 1950s, FFA developed a jet fighter, the P-16. The P-16 project, while promising, was cancelled after two crashes, and Hawker Hunters were bought instead. Also the project for a Bizjet SAAC-23 was cancelled. In the 1960s the company built the Diamant series of sailplanes.[1][2][3]

The firm licence-built many aircraft for Swiss use, including the de Havilland Vampire, de Havilland Venom, Dassault Mirage III, and F-5 Tiger II.Шаблон:Cn

In 1987, the company name was bought back by Dornier. The railway part went to Schindler fist, ending up in 1997 as part of Stadler Rail.Шаблон:Cn
