Ingolstadt Manching Airfield, or Fliegerhorst Ingolstadt/Manching in German (IATA: IGS, ICAO: ETSI), is a military airbase with civil usage located in Manching near Ingolstadt, Germany.

## Usage

[edit]

The airfield is home to the Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Center for Aircraft.. The first flights of the Panavia Tornado and Eurofighter prototypes took place here. The F-104G Starfighter and the F-4 Phantom II fighter aircraft were flown here testing weapons systems in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. During the Space Shuttle missions it was considered as a landing site for Transoceanic Abort Landings.[citation needed]

Cassidian, the defence and security subsidiary of EADS (now renamed Airbus Defence and Space[1]), also had its headquarters here. Manching is now a key center for Airbus' military air systems activity in Germany including the support of Luftwaffe aircraft.[2]
