Technology The very latest in aerodynamics, design and advanced technologies. Fuselage More than 60 % of new materials, chosen for their superior weight and strength properties, Innovative use of all-new Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Much easier maintenance and reparability. Weight savings via optimum fibre lay-up and skin thickness tailored to the requirements of the location. Wing The all-new composite wing design Cruise speed to Mach 0.85 (the cruise speed of the A380). Excellent aerodynamics, together with advanced high lift devices and advanced systems. Building on the A380 interactive cockpit and systems, the XWB Family will feature- modern functions such as an airport navigation system and the brake to vacate, a system designed to optimize braking for passenger comfort and better runway usage. Exemplary reliability in service with longer maintenance intervals and customised maintenance schedules to help provide airlines with higher operating productivity. A 21st Century solution for an aircraft in this size category. -6-

Concept of Maturity A Maturity for the WP This maturity is used to prove the feasibility of the Work Package by allowing a divergence of zonal concepts. They are very much focused on significant structural interfaces and critical (high risk/problematic) zones. Several configurations or studies may be produced in order to meet the design requirements. A-Maturity Review (A-MAT) marks the end of A-Maturity. B Maturity for the WP This maturity demonstrates detail design principles for structure and system installation aspects and includes Geometric Dimension & Tolerance (GD & T) analysis and key Work Package characteristics. B-Maturity-Preliminary Design Review (B-MAT-PDR) marks the end of B-Maturity. C Maturity for the WP SAM is developed into the DMU to enable Work Package detail design in the context of Aircraft geometry, based on critical jig shape. This will enable the Frontier models to be used and updated. The maturities demonstrate detail design principles for Structure, Systems and installation aspects, including Flight Test Installation (FTI) that conforms to the build philosophy, datum and Key Characteristics previously agreed. C-Maturity-Critical Design Review (C-MAT-CDR) marks the end of this maturity level. -25-

User Defined Feature A User Defined Feature(UDF) has been created for each feature contained within a rib body solid These UDF s can then be instantiated on to the Wireframe geometry in order to remove material from the rib billet solid The result is a rib model that is generated in the same way as it will be machined This modelling method allows full geometry to be created and parametrically controlled quicker and easier than manual methods -34-
