Rotorcraft
As a leader in advanced composite manufacturing, APEX Space & Defense Systems engineers advanced composite components designed for rotorcraft systems, including glareshields, window frames, weapon support structures, and more. Our durable and lightweight composite solutions are custom-manufactured for the most demanding rotorcraft platforms in the defense and aerospace industries.
Custom-Engineered Components for Rotorcraft
Using our advanced in-house composite manufacturing capabilities, we create a range of custom components designed to meet the specific challenges of rotorcraft systems. Key components we engineer and produce include:
- Glareshields & Window Frames: Crafted for the Apache Helicopter, our glareshields and window frames represent engineering precision at its finest. We develop complex assemblies that are adjustable and meticulously detailed for optimal performance in mission-critical applications.
- Flexbeams & Pitch Cases: We engineer flexbeams and pitch cases for maximum strength and durability. APEX's experience in manufacturing these components for the MD Helicopter 902 - and our capability to adapt this expertise to other platforms - sets us apart. Few companies possess the advanced capabilities required for these demanding applications.
- Weapon Support Structures: Our composite engineered solutions include Lightweight Armament Support Structures (LASS) and Multi-Station Lightweight Armament Support Structures (MLASS), providing advanced weapon mounting capabilities for rotorcraft.
- Brackets, Fairings, & Shims/Spacers: We manufacture high-strength brackets, aerodynamic fairings, and precision-engineered shims and spacers.
- Environmental Control System Components: APEX also designs and produces composite components essential for regulating air pressure, temperature, and air quality within rotorcraft.
