The first main landing gear attachments have been completed some 16 months after order intake. Beyond this work package, Premium Aerotec is responsible for the new generation's complete front fuselage section 13/14 as well as the side shells of the rear fuselage sections 16 through 18, plus the floor structure, and the pressure bulkhead of the rear section.
The main landing gear attachments consist of titanium components which are manufactured at the company's Augsburg plant from forged blanks originally weighing almost 600 kilograms.
Premium Aerotec will eventually deliver six of these components to Airbus UK for each A350 XWB airliner. The installation in the UK of these attachments on the rear wing spar is a major step in the A350 wing production.
