Louis Gallois, chief executive officer of EADS, Airbus’ parent company, and Sir Peter Westmacott, the UK ambassador to France, opened the building, which is named after Sir George White, the founder of the Bristol Aeroplane Company.
Approximately 30 full-time employees will work in the landing gear systems test facility when the rigs enter the initial test phase in mid-2011. The Airbus site at Filton is responsible for the specification, procurement, aircraft integration and certification of all Airbus aircraft landing gear and associated systems. The test facility will demonstrate the maturity of the landing gear system, and provide evidence for the certification of the landing gear and systems, especially the extension-retraction and braking systems.
