Composite Lay-up
Composite manufacture is focused at the processing of phenolic pre-pregs and honeycombs for
aircraft interior applications, using an oven cured process.
Significant amounts of phenolic board products are also processed, either as linings or as completed assemblies.
Structural parts are manufactured mostly in carbon fibre-epoxy pre-pregs, and autoclave cured.
Apart from 3-Axis trimming of the parts, decorative finishes include leather, painting or Tedlar applications,
and generally include assemblies of electrical or other sub-systems.
Composite tooling capability exist internally, and can also be supplemented through an established sub-tier supply base.
Apart form light weight construction and optimised design techniques, galley and aircraft interior products are manufactured by using a “self-jigging” mortise-and-tennon construction technique.
Apart from lower tooling costs, this method also allows for quick and easy assembly.
