 New Technology and Capability Development Enables Multi-billion Dollar Aircraft Component Program
Problem:
Hawker de Havilland (HdH), now Boeing Aerostructures Australia, was a Tier 2 supplier of composite aircraft components to Boeing. It was traditionally a facility using conventional prepreg hand lay-up and autoclave curing procedures. Its ambition was to become a Tier 1 supplier (i.e. design, analyse and build).
