Within Airbus Deutschland, the Stade plant is the centre for the processing of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and manufacture of vertical tail units for all Airbus aircraft, including those for the A380 and the Airbus A400M military transport aircraft. These vertical tail units are amongst the world’s largest fibre composite structures for commercial aircraft. In addition, the wing shells for the A400M transport aircraft are being manufactured at Stade. This is the first time in the history of Airbus that such components are being produced from carbon fibre composites (CFC). For Eurofighter, fuselage shells and small components are manufactured from CFC.
