Spirit ships first A350 composite fuselage section panels
Spirit AeroSystems says it has shipped its first production composite centre fuselage panels for the Airbus A350 XWB programme out of its Kinston, North Carolina facility.
The Section 15 fuselage panels are being sent to Saint-Nazaire, France, where final upper shell assembly will occur. “Our North Carolina team has worked hard to achieve this important milestone,” said Dan Wheeler, vice-president and general manager, North Carolina business unit. “With help from our customer, we have successfully integrated with Airbus methods, tools, processes and systems. Shipment of these composite fuselage panels represents a significant achievement for Spirit employees as we work with Airbus to meet all their requirements and delivery schedules for the pre-final assembly phase.” Spirit won a contract with Airbus in May 2008 to design and produce the A350 XWB's composite centre fuselage section. Spirit also designs and builds the spar and fixed leading edge for the A350 XWB. www.spiritaero.com
