First Photo – Airbus A350XWB Nose Section

The very first Airbus A350 XWB nose section has been transported to Airbus site St Nazaire (France). The A350 XWB nose section comprises three main sub-assemblies: the cockpit plus upper and lower forward fuselage parts, which incorporate door one and the nose landing gear bay. The nose section will be joined to the forward fuselage, which is made and equipped by Airbus aerostructures partner Premium Aerotec in Hamburg, Germany.
