“Our products include some of the most technically advanced... 
 
...and application critical composite parts in the aerospace industry...”
   
  The GE90 wide chord fan blade incorporates over 1000 plies of uni-directional tape and fabric to form a three dimensional airfoil shape. Thickness varies from up to four inches in the root of the blade to only a quarter of an inch in the airfoil. In order to ensure structural integrity, each blade must pass high resolution ultrasonic and x-ray testing. Metal hardware bonded to the edge of the blade provides erosion protection. The GE90 engine equips the Boeing 777 airliner.

Bypass ducts using carbon fiber and high temperature PMR15 resin provide the performance of a low weight part with resistance to temperatures up to 600ºF. These parts require high temperature cure technology capability and intricate five axis machining. 

Fan ducts of honeycomb sandwich construction require metal/honeycomb bonding, sound suppression, hardware riveting and assembly capability. 

  Containment cases are application critical parts manufactured using graphite wrapped honeycomb bonded to metal rings and reinforced with kevlar. These parts require sophisticated cure technology to accommodate differences in thermal expansion during the cure process between metal and composite. 

Other parts manufactured by CFAN range from engine bleed ducts made of carbon fiber and BMI resin to fiberglass and epoxy fairings up to twenty ft. in length and seven ft. in diameter
