Abstract:
|
In 1999, the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus initiated the A380 project to
manufacture the world's first double-decker aircraft with a passenger seating
capacity of more than 800. Airbus adopted a decentralized manufacturing process.
The centers which manufactured various parts were spread out across Europe and
the final assembly was done at Toulouse, France. Materials like composites and
GLARE, which reduced the overall weight of the aircraft, were used in the
manufacture of the A380. The case details the design and manufacturing process
of A380. It also highlights the technical features of the aircraft.
