Reference information: NOVACOM SERVICES est le fournisseur d’AIRBUS
pour le suivi des pièces de l’A380. Toulouse, le 05/09/2007,
...Il en est de même pour les 50 pièces d’outillage (jigs) dédiés au transport des pièces d’avion qui sont suivies en temps réel sur l’ensemble du cycle de montage, transport,démontage et retour aux centres de fabrication
http://tinyurl.com/6mbm8o
Les surfaces portantes d'un avion comme l'A380 constituent
sans doute l'élément le plus compliqué et important de toute la construction. Le nombre de pièces complexes des ailes et la tolérance extrêmement étroite, limitée à 0,25 mm, qu'il faut maintenir sur toute l'envergure, posent les plus hautes exigences à la réalisation des supports. L'assemblage des surfaces s'effectue au moyen de gros gabarits (jigs) atteignant
facilement une hauteur de plusieurs étages.

Reference information: BELUGA CARGO LOADING
As the main cargo deck is at a height of 5.5m from ground level, the Beluga needs to operate at airports with suitable ground handling facilities. A 100t cargo lifting platform, 32m long, and mounted on a 24 wheel chassis, has a load capacity of 50t. Airbus Transport International has completed the prototype development of an integrated loading ramp that allows the Beluga to operate on airfields without loading and unloading facilities.
The integrated loading ramp, 12m long and 5m wide, is of carbon composite construction. It is powered by the aircraft's internal generator. The ramp can be operated by one man and can be deployed and folded back into position in 20mins. The tongue section of the loading ramp extends forwards from the main deck level towards the ground in front of the nose of the aircraft. The load is mounted onto the tongue section, which is then raised to the horizontal position level with the main cargo deck. The load is than moved onto the cargo deck inside the fuselage.
