Airbus has awarded a contract to CAC Commercial Aircraft Company (CCAC) for the work package of A350 XWB spoilers and droop panels.
The A350 XWB spoiler and droop panels use carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and include innovative processes such as the resin transfer moulding process on the centre hinge fitting to attach the spoiler to the wing structure.
Airbus (Beijing) Engineering Centre, a joint venture of Airbus in China, will take part in design activities for the work package.
With the contract, Airbus has allocated 5% of the A350 XWB airframe manufacture to China.
