Aerospace technology is now operating at the limits of physics. Further increases in performance can only be achieved through the use of innovative materials such as titanium, light metal honeycombs, fiber-reinforced plastics, etc. – which also require innovative production lines. Fahrion is a constant when it comes to the overall planning of aircraft production, maintenance hangars and airport facilities.
Firstly in sub-areas: e.g. in the production of the Tornado wing box from welded titanium structures, in the mechanical processing of integral components, the lamination of rotor blades and Airbus vertical stabilizers, in the production of cable harnesses, solar cells for satellites or in the assembly of Airbus doors, Tornado center sections and helicopters. These are all productions that were also realized with Fahrion’s know-how.
And secondly, in the planning and realization of entire factories: from the architecture to the planning of the assembly lines – without interfaces, but with numerous synergy effects. To this end, we have developed standardized aircraft hangars and maintenance docks and patented them worldwide.
