Company Overview
We fabricate net shape composite parts such as structural missile components and missile housings, high temperature aircraft engine components, rotorcraft blade components, smart munition range extension kits, aircraft components and sub-assemblies and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) parts and airframes. These components are integrated into key programs such as the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike fighter, the F-22 Raptor fifth generation stealth fighter aircraft, the Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD), the CH53K Heavy Lift Replacement Helicopter, the Small Diameter Bomb system, the Non-Line-of-Sight Launch System and the JAVELIN anti-tank weapon system.
We employ leading-edge material and manufacturing technologies to achieve fabrication costs competitive with metallic designs: low weight, high fatigue/ strength/stiffness and corrosion resistance. We select composite materials to fit the specific application including advanced materials such as aerospace grade epoxy, bismalyimide, phenolic and polyimide materials such as Avimid N and AFRPE-4.
Cobham Composite Products designs and makes most of the molds and tooling required for both development and production programs. Our engineers employ semi-automated equipment and fixtures for high-volume production programs to maximize learning curve efficiencies that produce the highest value products for our customers. We assemble and integrate to produce subassemblies that meet customer requirements.
With average production rates of several thousand parts annually for many of our products, Cobham is one of the top, high-volume producers of advanced aerospace products in the industry. We employ lean manufacturing techniques to our production processes to continually drive to minimize labor and maximize product yields.
