Historic milestone: Liebherr started first Airbus A350 nose landing gear overhaul

The first of an operator’s A350 nose landing gear systems has already been inducted into the overhaul process at Liebherr-Aerospace’s site in Lindenberg (Germany).

As an OEM and long-standing partner of the international aviation industry, we vest great importance in quality, reliability and safety.

The nose landing gear system for the Airbus A350 has been developed, manufactured and certified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, Lindenberg (Germany), Liebherr’s center of competence for flight controls, landing gear systems, gears, gearboxes and electronics.
