✈ Three years ago, #AirbusAtlantic chose Portugal 🇵🇹 to set up a new factory in #SantoTirso, #Portugal, where it began producing fuselage panels for the A320 and A350 aeroplanes. By the end of 2023, the factory already employed 240 people, and this year, it will receive two more components for the A320's forward fuselage. For the company's CEO, Eric Belloc, 'supporting this increase in production is a priority'. The Airbus Atlantic plant in Santo Tirso has quickly become one of the leading aeronautical references in Portugal. 'The results are positive. We have achieved our growth targets – 240 jobs by the end of 2023 – and our investment targets. We continue to expand and should have around 330 employees by the end of 2024,' predicts Eric Belloc. 🚀 📈 Airbus' success in Portugal is directly related to the success of the #A320 family of aircraft, whose production continues to increase. For this reason, the Santo Tirso factory will receive two other components for the front fuselage of the aeroplanes later this year. 🔗 Read the full article ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gVK82ZT2 #MadeInPortugal #BuyFromPortugal #InvestInPortugal #BusinessMatchMaking #PortugalOpenForBusiness #AICEP

In the lifespan of modern technology, there are instances where highly technical products achieve their design objectives yet fail commercially. A notable example is the Concorde, a supersonic aircraft developed in the 1960s and 70s. Despite being a technological marvel of its time, it was not a commercial success. If you’re unfamiliar with the Concorde, explore our work to see how technological advancements can overshadow other crucial aspects of a product, leading to its failure. Do you know more examples like Concorde, share it with us. British Airways - Airbus Aircraft - Airbus -

I found this post particularly enlightening. We are in the era of #AI, where technology often becomes the ultimate goal for many products and businesses. However, technology should be a vehicle, not the destination. Sometimes, fascination with technology leads to designing high-tech products that fail to serve their intended purpose. The Concorde is a prime example of this—a technological marvel in its time, yet commercially unsuccessful. It serves as a crucial lesson for anyone developing a digital product. #productdevelopment

Have you heard of the Airbus BELUGA? The Beluga was specifically designed to transport oversized aircraft components, such as wings and fuselage sections, between Airbus production facilities across Europe. The aircraft is a highly modified version of the Airbus A300-600, featuring an enlarged fuselage and a unique hinged nose that opens upwards to allow for easy loading and unloading of cargo. Being able to carry payloads weighing up to 47 tons, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of four adult male African elephants. The Beluga measures approximately 56 meters (184 feet) in length, which is equivalent to the length of around 1.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools placed end to end, weighing a staggering 86,500 kg (190,700 lb)when empty. The Beluga fleet plays a crucial role in Airbus's production process, ensuring that aircraft parts are delivered quickly and efficiently to assembly lines in France, Germany, Spain, and the UK. #aviation #airbus #airbuslovers #airlines
