Hey Dutchman.No my meaning is September and onwards we should see 2+ frames per month coming up to 3 by October/November this year.

We should see two A350s coming off the line after MSN7, starting from October or November at the latest.
The production rate should increase to 3 per month at the end of the year. However, it will take several months before the output reaches 3 per month. The FAL lead time is some 6 months so we should see the new output around mid-2015.

And XWB how much is a lead time at the SPIRIT shipsets ?
In recent month according to their report - those went at 1/month.
So it should increase already 3Q/14 to 2 or more ?

Well, if the FAL is at 2 per month so is the supply chain.

We know H1 numbers, but for the suppliers who are struggling to meet the required pace, the production rate is probably still increasing in Q3 ...

Well, if the FAL is at 2 per month so is the supply chain. So the SPIRIT parts are needed just for the FAL operation ? - so late ? I thought that the wings come in already assembled ? I was interested if we know how long before entry into the FAL are those parts needed. |

Spirit "parts" are fuselage sections. They are needed for entry into FAL.

Are these parts shipped to the FAL ? I would think they have to be integrated into the wing first. |

Philidor my idea too - that was the reason of my question.
Also I do believe that the fuselage parts would be integrated onto the fuselage subassembly prior entry to the FAL.
