Composites structures

Innovation - Breakthrough manufacturing processes

Since many years, Sonaca is developping integrated composite structures, produced by a combination of SQRTM injection and automatic lay-up ATL. 

This innovation boils down in heavily integrating multiple composite part co-cured in one single step. Our teams have demonstrated this technology for a whole set of control surfaces for preliminary design, manufacturing and certification.

While significantly reducing recurrent costs thanks to combination of both lay-up automation and assembly time decrease, this mature technology provides prominent weight savings and outstanding quality.

This technology is now ready for many opportunities: advanced air mobility, business jets but also commercial and regional aircraft for components such as aircraft slats, ailerons, flaps, elevators or rudders.
