Airbus A350 Assembly Map

  1. There is at least 1 mistake. The forward fuselage is made in Hamburg. Saint Nazaire makes the nose and stops at door 1.

  2. Forward fuselage and center wing box is made by Premium Aerotec in Germany. Bremen, if I remember correctly. I think they do the vertical stabilizer too.

  3. I’d add, the engines in Derby are not made by Airbus, but Rolls Royce. It’s an important distinction as when you buy a plane you typically have a separate contract for the engines.

    Also, Hamburg has a big paint shop so often an unpainted plane is sent there to be finished.

  4. Does somebody knows if the production of Boing is also scattered across the US like that or they were able to centralize their factories?

  5. Isn’t this the plane that received an airworthiness directive about the risk of explosion mid air from EASA recently? Screw 350 I’ll stick with the reliable A330.
