Sabca has a wide range of competencies, developed during its more than100 years of experience in the design, construction, and assembly of integrated metallic and composite aerostructures as well as the development, manufacture, and support of actuators for flight control systems.

Sabca’s Structural and Mechatronics Engineering offices are responsible for most of the new programs. Its workshops are equipped with modern machines that produce complex metallic and composite assemblies for aircraft and space launchers and advanced Thrust Vectoring Systems for space launchers.

Environmental Mechanics and Mobility Applications

The EMMA research pole focuses on the relation between mechanical devices and their environment (vibrations, acoustics, ageing, air quality, sensing) as well as on the performance, stability and technology of mobility platforms in the air, sea, and land domains whether manned or unmanned.
