Finmeccanica, the Italian aerospace, defence and security company has announced joint partnership with Mubadala Development Company, an Abu Dhabi-based investment company to manufacture aerospace composite components for civil aircrafts at the recently announced Abu Dhabi-based composites plant. By 2010, the plant will manufacture components such as spoilers, flap-track fairings and, through this agreement, will develop primary structures including outboard flaps, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Alenia Aeronautica, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, will provide technology, technical assistance and specialized training as well as transfer composite aerostructure manufacturing work to the new composites plant. Alenia Aeronautica will also provide support to develop the manufacturing processes that are needed for international industrial certifications. Activities will begin this year and are expected to reach capacity by 2011.
