Airbus (Toulouse, France) reported on Dec. 4 that the first composite layup for the A350 XWB has been manufactured in Nantes, France. The panel for the center wing box (CWB), entirely made of carbon fiber, has a surface area of 36m²/388 ft², making it the largest monobloc composite panel ever manufactured in Nantes, using an MTorres (Torres de Elorz, Navarra, Spain) automated fiber placement machine. Once assembled in Nantes, the CWB will be delivered to Airbus Saint-Nazaire for integration.

Along with other Airbus facilities, the Airbus plant in Nantes has a high expertise in composite material and is a leader in the manufacture of carbon fiber structural parts, such as the center wing box and the keel beam for the A350 XWB. On the all-new aircraft Family, 53 percent of the aircraft by weight will be composite-based, including major elements such as wings and fuselage.

"This key milestone for the A350 XWB program has been made possible through Airbus' methodical and evolutionary approach to incorporating composites in its aircraft, and the consequent experience gained over many years," said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus COO.

Didier Evrard, head of the A350 XWB program, added, "The A350 XWB is becoming real, and further builds on our expertise in key areas such as: materials technology; predictive stress analysis and design; composite manufacturing; and composite engineering and assembly, including manufacturing processes and tool technology concepts."

Firm orders for the A350 XWB now stand at 505 from 32 customers worldwide.
