The making of an Airbus is literally like the caricature about
the bureaucracy in the "United Europe." It is a maze of parts and
subcomponent tourism (Super Goopies and Belugas are being used.)
For example wings for the A320 are being made in Bremen, Germany.
Many wing components come from Britain, after which they ship the
wings to Toulouse, France in a Goopy. etc etc.


and who makes the nose gear specifically? :-)


Nessier-Dowty, who are also supplying the gear for the Boeing 787. The nose
gear for the A320 is manufactured in their plant in Bidos, France.
