We are a full-service aerostructures supplier of highly engineered propulsion components and specialty structures with advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities for the aerospace and defense industry. More than 6,000 employees in 14 locations around the world support specialty structural aerostructures products for commercial, military, business jet and submarine applications.
Key aerostructures products include:
- Nacelles and pylons (inlets, fan cowls, thrust reversers, exhausts, engine build up)
- Doors (passenger, cargo, landing gear, utility ramps)
- Flight-controls (ailerons, flaps, slats and spoilers)
- Empennage (rudders and elevators)
- Naval composite structures
- Specialized military flight structures
- Advanced materials including acoustic low drag liners, thermoplastics, out-of-autoclave composites, high temperature composites and metallics, and additive manufacturing
In an age where advanced materials are flourishing, we are leading the way with technologically advanced and lean manufactured products. The team recently developed the largest additively manufactured structural thrust reverser cascade array for use on a bizjet nacelle.
You’ll also find the combination of our advanced materials and our relentless push for manufacturing efficiency on the out-of-autoclave composite F-16 Horizontal Stabilator.
Our team is deploying similar technologies to other markets, including submarines. Many of our composite and acoustic technologies are applied to sonar systems and today can be found on the Virginia- and Victoria-class submarines.
