NEW YORK (Reuters) – Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd <MHVYF<\/a>> is confident that it has the technical and production know-how to build high-tech wings for Airbus SE <EADSY<\/a>> jetliners, the chief executive of the Japanese conglomerate said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MHI developed sophisticated production processes at its facility in Nagoya in the process of building wings for the Boeing Co <BA<\/a>> 787 Dreamliner, Chief Executive Seiji Izumisawa said in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have accumulated expertise in producing aerostructures as a tier 1 supplier, so if the opportunity does present itself we will certainly be willing to consider it,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not yet clear whether Airbus plans to outsource wings on future jets, such as its next-generation single-aisle aircraft, which could come out in about a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such future work would be important to MHI in part because of Boeing’s decision to bring wing production back in-house on its latest jet, the 777X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We do have the capability to produce some pretty complicated components,” said Izumisawa, who said he was involved in developing the 787 wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
