Airbus abbreviations and acronyms
Dear portal user,
The aeronautical industry has been using abbreviations and acronyms for a long time!
We have designed the abbreviation and acronym list below to help you find the meaning
of such series of letters!
The abbreviations and acronyms are extracted from ‘Lexinet’, our Airbus terminology
reference tool. It also contains the vocabulary in use at Airbus and provides definitions of
terms.
Abbreviations and acronyms are listed with a status in the 3rd column:
. The “Approved” ones can be used in all documents and data related to Airbus programs
without restrictions.
. The “For information” ones may be found in the Airbus environment, but they shall notbe used in Definition Dossiers or technical publications.
To find the meaning of a specific abbreviation or acronym, just press together the ‘Ctrl’and ‘F’ keys on your PC keyboard and fill out the small box at the top. Then press enteruntil you get the abbreviation in the left column: You will then find the full form of theabbreviation in the centre column.
