Aciturri's first delivery for giant transporter

Spanish tier 1 supplier Aciturri has delivered the first set of auxiliary vertical stabilizers and the extension of the horizontal stabilizer box (HTP) for the Airbus BelugaXL to the assembly line of the OEM in Toulouse.

In the next few weeks a work team from the company will also move to the facility in the city to complete the integration of the HTP.

The delivery of the sections is part of the project with Airbus to design and manufacture work package 230 of the BelugaXL programme; the super transporter that Airbus will use to transport aircraft main components between its European production facilities.

For two years, the engineering teams of Aciturri have been working closely with Airbus (some of them in the facilities of the OEM in Toulouse) on the design of the new project and for the definition of several manufacturing processes.

Aciturri is in charge of the manufacturing and management of metallic and composites components, as well as of the final assembly which will happen in its facilities in Seville, Spain.

As part of the BelugaXL program, Aciturri is responsible of the production of ventral fins, stabilizers located at the bottom of the fuselage tail.

BelugaXL will support the important increases in production foreseen in several programs, including the A350 XWB.
