BANGALORE: Infosys Technologies Ltd has played a major role in the design and development of A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft produced by Airbus, the software major has said.
In a statement, Infosys said its contribution was in the design and development of the jumbo aircraft's structural components, using its unique global delivery model.
"We worked on the design and development of the top and bottom skin extensions within the inner fixed trailing edge for the A380. We also played a key role in developing tools and processes for its product life cycle management," a company statement said.
According to Franco Gonsalves, Infosys vice president for automotive and aerospace unit, the work consisted of high-end engineering tasks, including delivery of cost-effective solutions for Airbus, resulting in shorter lead-times and faster roll-out to reduce the project cost. "With our engineering skills and process understanding, we helped Airbus develop and deploy software solutions, including interface with legacy data archiving and distribution systems, enhancement of data exchange applications for the extended enterprise, interface with SAP, key characteristics and tolerance management," Gonsalves said.
