Spirit delivers first A350 XWB fuselage section
Posted 10/01/2012
Spirit AeroSystems has delivered its first composite center fuselage section for the Airbus A350 XWB.
The upper and forward lower shell composite fuselage panels were joined in Spirit's Saint-Nazaire, France, facility before being delivered to Airbus.
Spirit won a contract with Airbus in May 2008 to design and produce Section 15 of the A350 XWB's composite fuselage. The first center-fuselage panels were shipped from Spirit's North Carolina facility to Spirit's Saint-Nazaire facility in October.
