Aerospace Introduction
AST has been involved in the Aerospace industry in many different aspects. One of AST's major contributions to the industry was the invention of the linear friction welding process. This invention & subsequent development enabled jet engine fan blades to be bonded directly to the blade disk. I’m sure you will agree this was a historic milestone development to the Aerospace industry.
In the recent past we have continued to concentrate on the design of equipment that test & assist the Aerospace industry, as well as specific design solutions for high end luxury interiors. Our vast experience in the rail interior sector bought us into this field & with the innovative & high standards the AST team devotes to our clients’ wishes, our end user is guaranteed the luxury & performance they are accustomed to.
In brief, the Aerospace areas of expertise AST have are:
- Engine & Instrumentation Test Rigs
