Airbus A350 XWB wing manufacturing
Airbus A350 XWB wing manufacturing. Engineers working on a component that forms part of the trailing edge of a wing on the new Airbus A350 XWB. This is a redesigned (extra-wide body) version of the A350 passenger jet airliner that is currently being developed and built. It is scheduled to enter operation in 2014. The new technology and materials that are being used in this aircraft include wing structures made of composite materials such as carbon fibre-reinforced polymers. This work is being carried out at GKN Aerospaces Western Approach facility near Bristol, UK, opened in April 2012. Photographed in July 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of Airbus A350 XWB wing manufacturing. In this image, a team of skilled engineers can be seen diligently working on a component that forms part of the trailing edge of the wing. The Airbus A350 XWB is an extraordinary aircraft, representing a new era in aviation with its extra-wide body design. Developed and built to revolutionize air travel, this state-of-the-art passenger jet airliner is equipped with cutting-edge technology and materials. One notable feature is its composite wing structures made from carbon fibre-reinforced polymers, showcasing advancements in aerospace engineering. Taken at GKN Aerospaces Western Approach facility near Bristol, UK in July 2012, this photograph highlights the dedication and expertise required to construct such an innovative aircraft. The facility itself was opened just months prior in April 2012, emphasizing the significance of this project within the aerospace industry. The individuals depicted are British engineers Jim Turner and Lee Hathaway who played integral roles in assembling these wings. Their meticulous work ensures that every detail meets stringent quality standards before being integrated into the larger aircraft structure. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we witness not only human ingenuity but also glimpse into a future where technological advancements continue to shape our world. This photo serves as a testament to both scientific progress and collaborative efforts that make dreams take flight.
