Alenia Aermacchi, delivered the 100th 787 Dreamliner mid-fuselage section to Boeing. Alenia Aermacchi is positioning to meet the program's production ramp-up to 10 airplanes per month by the end of 2013 at Alenia Aermacchi’s Monteiasi-Grottaglie plant.
The delivery of Alenia Aermacchi’s 100th 787 Dreamliner fuselage section marks a significant step in a process launched in 2004 and that sees Alenia Aermacchi, formerly Alenia Aeronautica, participating in design, development and production all of the fuselage section’s structural components, along with the infrastructure and technological processes necessary for its production. This includes the innovative “one piece barrel” production process used at the Monteiasi-Grottaglie plant, which makes the fuselage section entirely from carbon fiber composite as a single piece, a process used for the first time ever in the aeronautical sector.
