This company was founded on May 1,1956, becoming
established at Ottobrunn bei Munchen in 1958. Until January
1,1965 was known as Bolkow Entwicklungen KG,
adopting above title following acquisition of a one-third interest in the business by Boeing. Bolkow held a 25% interest in Entwicklungsring Sud (EWR). Aircraft
produced include the Bo 207 four-seat light aircraft, BO
208 C Junior (a license-built version of the Malmo MFI-
9) and the BO 105 five-seat light helicopter, which featured
a rigid main rotor of glassfiber-reinforced plastics.
This helicopter continued in production under the designation
MBB BO 105, signifying that it was then built by
Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm, and most recently it
has become a Eurocopter product.
