Messier-Dowty has been confirmed as supplier of the main landing gear for the Airbus A350 XWB. The Safran Group company had been selected to supply the main gear for the original A350, but the XWB has a completely new design.

The company says it will be responsible for the design, development, qualification testing, manufacturing and in-service support of the main gear, with deliveries to the Airbus final-assembly line in Toulouse scheduled to begin early in 2011.

The nose landing gear is being supplied by Liebherr-Aerospace. Messier-Dowty supplies the nose gear for the Airbus A380 and is developing the main and nose gear for the Boeing 787. The company also produces landing gear for the A320 and A330/A340 families.
