Airbus has finished structural assembly of the aft fuselage destined for the first flying A350 XWB (MSN1) at its manufacturing site in Hamburg, Germany. Plans now call for the fuselage section to undergo its secondary interior structural assembly and system installation before delivery to the A350 XWB final assembly line in Toulouse, France.
