JUN 04, 2003 (newstodate): On June 3, Airbus opened its first Engineering Centre, ECAR, in Russia.
Established in cooperation with the Russian Kalkol Group, the ECAR centre is Airbus first engineering facility in Europe outside its home countries in Western Europe.
The primary function of ECAR is to promote cross-transfer of expertise, as well as to co-ordinate and enlarge the scope of activities which Airbus is developing with Russian aerospace companies. Initially, the centre will specialise in disciplines such as fuselage structure, stress and installation system.
In addition, ECAR will coordinate and facilitate Airbus work packages amongst Russian aircraft design centers, and will also pass on its design works for the production of Airbus aircraft components in Russia.
