Chinanews, Mar.31 - Airbus took a significant step forward in its
transfer of aircraft manufacturing technology to China. On Mar. 31st, the
first delivery ceremony of fixed trailing edges for Airbus' A320 wings
was held at Xi'an Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. China is the first
country outside of Europe that Airbus has cooperated with on its wing
section program.
In 1999, Airbus signed an agreement with China Aviation Industry
Corporation (AVIC I), under which Airbus would transfer manufacturing
technologies and production lines used in the making of A320 wings
components, with the objective of enabling China to manufacture whole
wings.
At yesterday ceremony, Tom Williams, Airbus's executive vice-president of
procurement, said that the proportion of difficulty in manufacturing and
assembling A320 wing technology to that of the overall technology of
manufacturing a full aircraft is from 1/3 to 1/2.
At present, over 3600 Airbus aircrafts serve over 200 airlines around the
world. Over half of these aircraft use parts manufactured in China.
