On the same date, Premium AEROTEC's Nordenham site handed over the complete front fuselage section for the same 1st A350-1000.

 

 

This fuselage section will be completed by a CFRP door frame, bringing significant savings in weight and costs.

During the ceremony at Nordenham, Daniel Wenninger, Program Head at Airbus for the front and rear fuselage of the A350-1000, said: "In addition to higher loads and the use of new structural technologies, the over 3-metres longer fuselage section for the -1000 made considerable modifications in the design and construction necessary compared to its sister model A350-900. "

 

 

 

"The team managed to devise a first-class design for this highly complex aircraft component and to deliver it on time and in the desired high quality. That is something they can be proud of."
