Béteille developed a division of labor which would be the basis of Airbus ' production for years to come : France would manufacture the cockpit , flight control and the lower center section of the fuselage ; Hawker Siddeley , whose Trident technology had impressed him , was to manufacture the wings ; Germany should make the forward and rear fuselage sections , as well as the upper center section ; the Dutch would make the flaps and spoilers ; finally Spain ( yet to become a full partner ) would make the horizontal tailplane .
Béteille decided which companies would make which parts of the plane : France would make the cockpit , flight controls and part of the fuselage ; Hawker Siddeley made the wings ; Germany made part of the fuselage ; the Dutch made the flaps and spoilers ; and Spain made the horizontal tailplane .
