HAMBURG, Germany—Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation are working with Airbus to learn how to detect and predict disruptions in aircraft production.

TOULOUSE, France—Initial assembly has been completed on the Airbus A380, the last ever superjumbo, after it was announced in 2019 that the European airplane manufacturer was discontinuing the plane.

BEIJING—Airbus has shut down a factory in China that accounts for almost 10 percent of the production of its most popular jet, as precautions taken to contain the coronavirus outbreak ricochet across global industries.

MOBILE, AL—As part of an overall plan to produce 63 A320 aircraft per month worldwide in 2021, Airbus will increase production of the jetliners at its assembly plant here to seven per month by the beginning of 2021. This increase, and continued recruiting for the A220 manufacturing team, will add 275 jobs to the facility during the next year.

Whenever anyone mentions hybrid-electric vehicles today, most people automatically think of cars, buses and trucks. But, up in the sky, the technology is also getting a lot of attention from aerospace engineers. That’s because electric systems are greener, lighter, quieter and more energy-efficient than traditional alternatives.
