Sopra Steria has been selected, through its Aeroline vertical, to help European aeronautics giant Airbus modernise its engineering methods and tools.
Airbus Atlantic will be an essential element in the aerostructures supply chain, with more than 500 direct suppliers (flying products) and more than 2,000 indirect suppliers. STELIA and Airbus sites are involved.
The design and integration of tank structures is crucial to the performance of a future hydrogen aircraft, so Airbus has established two Zero-Emission Development Centres dedicated to this vital task.
Reorganising its aerostructures activity into two major companies, in France and Germany, Airbus aims to focus more closely on assembly and less on the manufacture of detail parts.
Parts of the centre wing box are reinforced, such as the spars, frames and upper and lower panels. Its arrival in Hamburg, along with fuselage panels from TAI, marks the start of aircraft structural assembly.
