The award from Airbus – which represents its first procurement of RTI parts manufactured entirely by RTI's vertically integrated supply chain – calls for RTI to supply 2 final-machined structural titanium fuselage parts for the Airbus A350-1000 aircraft model.



Under the award, work to be performed by RTI includes providing titanium mill products, as well as extruding, forming, final machining and managing external suppliers.

A portion of the extrusion, forming and machining will be performed by RTI Advanced Forming and RTI Extrusions Europe, both located in The United Kingdom.

Hickton, Vice Chair, President and CEO of RTI.
