Aircraft Structures
Commercial Aircraft
From fuselage parts to engine components, ATK's lightweight, high-strength composite materials are
reducing the weight, improving the performance, and lowering the cost
of commercial aircraft. Key products include:
- Fan containment cases for the General Electric
GEnx engine that will provide power for the Boeing 747-8 and potentially
the new Airbus 350 aircraft.
- Torsion springs for the counterbalance assembly
on the Boeing 767 commercial aircraft.
Military Aircraft
ATK's industry leadership in
high-strength, lightweight composite materials makes it the partner of
choice to develop and fabricate technically complex components for military
aircraft. Key products include:
- Stabilators, pivot shafts, and inlet bypass
screens for the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
- Upper wing skins for the Lockheed Martin F-35
Joint Strike Fighter.
- Low-observable antennas for the Lockheed Martin
F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber,
and other tactical aircraft.
- Solid-state radar and communications radomes
for the Northrop Grumman Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle and the
MESA radar system on the Boeing 737 Airborne Early Warning and Control
aircraft.
- Counterbalance assemblies for the Boeing C-17
Globemaster III aircraft.
- Precision optical benches for Northrop Grumman’s
high-energy laser used in the Airborne Laser (ABL) missile defense system
on board a modified Boeing 747 aircraft
