In this field, Augsburg is worldwide the largest external structures supplier to Airbus. The most important component within fuselage section assembly is "Section 19", which is located between the end of the cabin and the last segment, where the auxiliary power unit is installed. Augsburg manufactures Section 19 for all the small Airbus models (A318 to A321) and for the two larger models A330 and A340.
A further assembly processed here is the lower fuselage shell for all widebody aircraft in the A330/A340 family. The frame construction section supplies the plant's own Airbus assembly with, for example, the so-called spindle box, on which the control mechanism for the vertical tailplane is mounted.
