Why advanced composites?

Tailored Fibre Architecture for Defined Loads.

Composite materials allow engineers to tailor material orientation and structural architecture to specific loading requirements.

When appropriately designed and manufactured, they can provide attractive weight and stiffness characteristics for selected aerospace applications. The benefits depend on component design, material properties, manufacturing quality and the operating environment.

Potential component categories

What We Can Evaluate.

Structural Components

Selected lightweight structural parts and assemblies.

Shells and Enclosures

Aerospace manufacturing considerations

What Aerospace Programmes Require.

  • Drawing and configuration control
  • Material traceability
  • Manufacturing process control
  • Defined inspection requirements
  • First Article Inspection, where required
  • Nonconformity management
  • Customer qualification requirements
  • Approved supplier and special-process requirements, where applicable
Programme collaboration

Every Engagement Starts With a Review.

DANTA seeks opportunities to engage with aerospace OEMs, tier suppliers, engineering organisations and product developers.

Each engagement begins with a review of the component, required approvals, production expectations and technical responsibilities.
