If you scroll down to Electron Beam Welding (EBW) there is a bit about
titanium used in the aircraft industry there and it mentions the Airbus.

Actually, I worked on the airbus for quite a while, and I worked quite a bit
with titanium. Unfortunately not machining it in the fashion I envisage
necessary for building fishing reels!

Thanks for the info though.
