Composite Structure Capabilities
Brookhouse Aerospace is renowned for its long-standing expertise in the manufacture of high-quality composite aero-structures and components. The latest technologies and extensive skills and capabilities combine to deliver composite solutions at speed and scale.
Volume production and on-demand capability
Continued development of manufacturing technologies and systems at Brookhouse enables delivery of the capacity required to support increased production volumes and timescales. The introduction of a new composite routing cutter system, re-modelling of tooling methodology and development of new lay-up technologies are examples of how efficiency is optimised, to ensure the highest levels of responsiveness and flexibility.
Bespoke, one-off requests through to large, complex production requirements
Delivery of quality and conformity
Quality control systems and technologies in place ensure the most streamlined production systems consistently deliver to required targets and specifications. Advanced scanning technologies optimise quality control and production efficiency. Involvement in an ATI SME programme developing an innovative composite manufacturing solution also looks set to reduce waste, enhance product quality and shorten production cycles even further.
ISO 9001, AS 91000 Rev D and NADCAP certified capabilities across all major platforms
Vertically integrated solutions
The full range of complementary processes and solutions available at Brookhouse ensure maximum efficiency, flexibility and added value.
From engineering expertise and fabrication through to precision machining and surface treatments – access to all capabilities delivers enhanced levels of competitiveness and sustainability across the production cycle.
Extensive range of in-house capabilities to support composite production
Complete composite solutions
Our specialist capabilities and technologies support the production of flight critical structures and components, sub-assemblies and assemblies – from small to very large in size.
