Premium AEROTEC delivered the door frame shell for the CFRP fuselage demonstrator from Nordenham to Airbus Operations GmbH in Hamburg for structural testing today on schedule. This marks another major milestone on the way towards serial production for the A350 XWB at Premium AEROTEC. The aerospace supplier, founded in January 2009, is the main aerostructure supplier for this new family of Airbus aircraft.
The complex shells will be certified for the A350 XWB program together with the CFRP barrel. In addition to the structural test, this project serves to bring the production processes and the staff qualifications to industrial maturity. Innovative technology, proved skills and know-how are key to successful production of the fuselage sections at Premium AEROTEC for this new Airbus program.
