Airbus-Alcan integrated product teams were set up in the very early days of aircraft definition in order to take up the most challenging airframe development effort ever. Last month, Part 1 outlined the way the teams worked together as well as the investment efforts made by Alcan Aerospace to support the A380 program. Part 2 shows how this teamwork led to the development, qualification, and production of a complete series of new alloys for the wing and fuselage aluminium structures. The correlations between fracture toughness, crack susceptibility and yield strength of the applicated aluminium alloys are discussed. The further development is concentrated on the application of low-density Al-Li alloys, local tailoring of alloys properties and innovative joining solutions.
