The World’s Leading Independent Manufacturer
Spirit AeroSystems is one of the world’s largest non-OEM manufacturers of complex structures for the commercial aerospace industry. Spirit offers complete program capability — from design and development to production, delivery and MRO. Spirit designs, develops and manufactures fuselage systems, propulsion systems and wing systems. Explore the many programs and customers Spirit supports, including Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Mitsubishi and and major engine manufacturers.
Demand Driving Growth
Unprecedented commercial aviation growth directly translates into record orders from Spirit customers. In Kinston, North Carolina, where Spirit fabricates composite structures for the Airbus A350, production rates have doubled in the last several years. In Prestwick, Scotland, the Airbus A320 rates have risen to more than 50 a month. These rate increases demand greater efficiencies, quality and overall factory performance. Spirit is meeting these demands with investments in technology, automation and custom tooling solutions.
