Nova™ Aerospace Structures
 

Each aerospace structure is designed to fit a customers' specific requirements. Below are a some past projects:

  • Eclipse 500 inlet duct

  • D-Jet rudder, control surfaces and winglets

  • Live TV 737/A32 skirt fairing

  • After market Cessna 182 winglets

  • F/A-18 E/F composite radius blocks

  • Battelle Laboratories radar boom design/fabrication

  • ITT Aerospace low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) composite tubes

  • Five stringer polyimide panels for the NASA/Boeing HSCT Program

  • Large diameter fiberglass tubes for the Lockheed Space Telescope

(Struts as small as 6 in.)

  
Winglet design is optimized for one-piece co-curing to eliminate any secondary bonding or fastening. This can result in significant reductions in labor and tooling costs.   These new patented lightweight struts can be custom designed to fit your exact load, length and fitting size requirements. Our two foot long, 10,000 lb. tension strut weighs only 130 grams (0.28 lbs.). Current designs range from six inches to over twelve feet in length.   This skirt fairing (shown on a fuselage mockup in front of the cure oven) is designed for Live TV radomes on commercial aircraft.   This pressure door is entirely co-cured and can be designed for specific applications. Co-cured stiffeners provide a structurally superior structure.   This payload gusset was designed for Kistler Aerospace’s reusable satellite launch vehicle. The one-piece graphite part replaced a much heavier gusset that could not meet the imposed stiffness requirements.
