Superform USA pioneered the composite forming techniques on the F117A with the production of landing gear doors in Thermoplastic Graphite Composite. This provided high strength, high impact resistant, lightweight doors allowing optimum performance whilst minimizing radar profile for stealth activities. The door design exploited the thermoplastic's capability for co-consolidation allowing 5 parts to be fused together to complete the assembly as a single component. | PROJECT LINKS AUTOMOTIVE AEROSPACE ARCHITECTURE | ||||||||||||
