The Military Transport Aircraft Division has exceptional experience in the design and manufacture of advanced aerostructures. This covers carbon fibre and metallic structures, as well as experience in automation processes (manufacture and assembly).
The division's technological capacity is capable of offering the design, industrialisation, manufacture and certification of complex aeronautic structures. At present it develops and/or produces aerostructures for a range of aeronautical programmes: horizontal stabilizers (A400M, Falcon 7X), flight control surfaces (B-777, B-737, Falcon 7X, A400M, Eurofighter), engine nacelles, fibre placement technology fan cowls (A340-500/600, A380, A318), metallic structures (A380 belly fairing, A318 fan cowls, A320 Section 18, A330/340 central box, and others), leading edges (Airbus), etc.
Aerostructures has various production centres: Getafe (design office), Tablada, Seville (structural assemblies, production and machining of metallic skins), and Cadiz (manufacture of composite material in fibre placement, and superplastic moulding presses and integrated sheet metal), established as centres of technological excellence in their specialities.
