Our products from the Structures division are found on planes the world over, and can be divided into two groups:
FACC can draw on its enormous technological expertise - in the development as well as the production of structural components and systems. The components and systems developed by FACC are not only lighter than conventional parts made from aluminium alloys, but also distinguish themselves by providing enhanced stability, high heat and corrosion resistance, improved vibration damping, a long product lifecycle, and easy maintenance.
Composite materials also provide design/fabrication flexibility that can significantly decrease the number of parts needed for specific applications. Parts reduction means fewer raw material, fewer fasteners and less assembly time. Such benefits of high-performance composites result in lower product lifecycle costs as well. Tailorable fiber orientation offers a particular advantage, especially in structural aerospace application.
FACC is capable of delivering complete assemblies ready to install on a customer's aircraft or an aircraft engine as well as complete service from concept design to detail design, design of tooling, and certification of the components, relying on a proven supplier base for special and standard metallic hardware.
