Composite fairing is a combined effort
The combined expertise of both Brookhouse Composites and Brookhouse Patterns of Darwen, has been used to produce a specialist composite fairing for an aerospace wind tunnel.
The company already holds Nadcap approvals for chemical processing and nondestructive testing.
Nadcap is the worldwide co-operative programme of major companies, which allows industry oversight of the quality control of specific manufacturing processes and products within the aerospace sector, from coatings and composites to electronics and heat treatment.
It promotes continuous improvement and enhances product quality by focussing on overall supplier performance.
Quality is fundamental to Brookhouse, which was the first UK-mainland company to achieve Nadcap approval for composite pre-preg manufacture and metal-to-metal bonding in May 2006.
It was also one of the first companies in the UK to be approved to ASEN9100:2000 and carries customer approvals from most of the major aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus, BAe Systems, Rolls Royce, SAAB and Bombardier.
It is approved to EASA Part 21G, which allows it to manufacture and release to service components direct to the original equipment manufacturer and airlines covered by the European agency.
It is an Airbus-Hamburg approved repair station and, following its recent certification to FAR 145, it now has dual certification to maintain, repair and release to service composite components for aircraft of both European and US registration.
