I am also happy to announce a major milestone reached; the first Saab-component, a mid and outer leading edge (MOLE), for the freighter version of Airbus A380 was installed in jig, exactly on schedule. This was an important step in the manufacture of the A380F for Airbus and for ourselves. Please visit our website to view pictures of the first MOLE in jig.
