In 1982 Walter Extra of Dinslaken, Germany, participated in the World Aerobatic Championships in a Pitts biplane and decided to build his own aircraft, setting up Extra Flugzugbau in 1983 and built the Extra 230, the first flight of which took place on 14 July 1983.

The EC 175 is a multi-mission helicopter intended for the civil market which was developed by Eurocopter with the Harbin Aviation Industry Group in a joint venture.

The Extra 200 is a high-performance two-seat aircraft designed and marketed by Extra Flugzeugbau GmbH in Germany and aimed at the market for unlimited-category aerobatic aircraft.

The EC-145 is a development of the Bk-117 series. Work commenced on the design in 1997, the type being initially marketed in Japan as the Bk 117C-2.

The Express was designed and developed by Wheeler Technology as a high-speed cross-country kitplane, with the unusual seating featuring one forward and one aft-facing seat in the rear, behind two side-by-side front seats with dual controls.

The prototype of the EC-135 series (D-HECX) made its first flight at Ottobrunn, Germany on 5 February 1995, this being the first definitive aircraft following the completion of a test flying programme with two BO-108 technology demonstrators

The Express series was designed by Wheeler Technology Inc as a high-speed cross-country kitplane, and the prototype was built from kits of pre-moulded parts, the first aircraft flying on 28 July 1987.

In early 2001 at Heli-Expo Eurocopter announced a new helicopter had been added to its range, this being the EC-130 series based on the AS 350B3 but with a larger cabin and baggage area, and including the doors and windshield from the EC 120 Colibri series.

Brothers Arthur, Ronald and Ernest Everson built a small aircraft in about 1929, known as the Evo I, this being a simple high-wing glider-like design powered by a four-cylinder Henderson converted motor cycle engine, the aircraft being taken to the Mangere Speedway on 10 July 1929 but it crashed on

One of a series of helicopters produced by Eurocopter, the Franco/German consortium. The prototype of the EC-120 Colibri (F-WWPA), initially designated the P120L, flew for the first time on 9 June 1995, the second prototype (F-WWPD) flying on 17 July 1996.

Evektor-Aerotechnic AS of Kunovice in the Czech Republic was formed in 1991 and a lot of its work over the years has been involved in the production of parts for aircraft designed by Aero Vodochy, particularly parts for military trainers.

The Ercoupe series of light two-seat monoplanes was designed to bring simplicity into flying.

The Harmony is a sister aircraft to the Sportstar series (marketed in the United Kingdom as the Eurostar) and shares many of the design features of that type.

The Enstrom Corporation of Menominee County Airport, Michigan, was formed in 1959 by Rudy Enstrom to undertake the development and production of a small helicopter for private and commercial operation.

After completion of the design of the single-seat VP-1, Mr Evans developed a two-seat variant, the VP-2.

The Model 480 was developed to increase mission flexibility and to provide a more affordable light turbine-powered helicopter to place on the market which for years was dominated by the Bell 206 and the Hughes 500.

The Evans VP-1 and VP-2 series of light homebuilt aircraft was designed by Mr W S Evans in the USA with the idea of producing an aircraft which would be simple to build for the amateur constructor, and safe to fly with its all-wood construction.

The Phenom 300 was developed by Embraer in Brazil with the advice of executives, pilots and owner/operators to meet the evolving needs of business travellers and has a ‘new Oval Lite profile’ with an interior designed by MBW Group Designworks USA to give a new level of comfort to
