Abstract This paper illustrates the technology selection process for a new long-range aircraft family. These future members of Airbus Industrie’s product family will continue the evolution of advanced technologies at Airbus and will also pioneer new technologies. Guiding principles and the elements of the down-selection process will be presented. The close link between structural design criteria, material properties and manufacturing processes will be outlined for two different examples, i.e. selection of Glare application for fuselage panels and a discussion of alternative manufacturing processes for non-pressurised fuselage sections in CFRP.
