what happened

Montana Aerospace said its subsidiary Asco has shown Airbus a full-scale prototype of a hybrid metal-composite Rear Secondary Structure, a component for the next-generation single-aisle programme. The company called the step a key maturity milestone in a collaboration that began in 2022. Two prototypes are planned for manufacture in 2026, and the next stage is evaluation at complete pylon level.

why it matters

This is still an early stage. Airbus has not made a selection or awarded a contract, and installation trials lie ahead, so the effect on Montana Aerospace's revenue remains uncertain. If adopted, a lighter and lower-cost design could help the company compete for work on future aircraft.
