Liebherr-Aerospace delivers first A350 XWB components for flap system

The first ship set of the load sensing drive strut for the A350 XWB flap system, developed and manufactured by Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, Lindenberg (Germany), was delivered to the Airbus system test bench in Bremen. The set consists of a strut for the flap stations 1 and 4 and the associated harnesses. This mechanical-electronic component is installed four times in each aircraft. At the same time, the qualification test bench at Liebherr-Aerospace in Lindenberg has been successfully put into operation with a load-sensing drive strut, in order to conduct the usual tests for technical performance, endurance, fatigue, vibration and environmental sustainability.
