This project aims at accelerating the transition of the Walloon aircraft industry with an extensive use of composite materials in aircraft instead of metallic materials. Composite materials enable indeed to reduce the weight of aircraft (and thus their consumption), to increase the mechanical performance of structures (and thus their durability) and to reduce the ecological impact (noise, pollution, etc.).
The investment project aims at providing Advanced Coating with a computerized and automated system of plasma spraying and HVOF. This new equipment unique in Wallonia, will also be provided with a two-position turntable and will permit the mass surface coating of aircraft components.
Surface treatment processes will protect parts against wear, fretting or even high temperature oxidation.
Nowadays we produce all kinds of high technical quality prepreg parts under vacuum and in autoclave.
Composite materials, using prepreg materials offer technical and environmental qualities.
Among other realizations, our company has built the domes for the Very Large Telescope, developed for ESO on the site of Cerra Paranal (Chile), the nozzles and the fairings for the A380 Airbus, weapon protection for the “FN”...
