Airframe Assemblies covers the design and manufacture of major structural and functional airframe elements — including fuselage sections, empennages, wings, control surfaces, fairings, radomes, and helicopter assemblies — produced through processes such as autoclave-cured CFRP layup, superplastic forming, friction-stir welding, and CNC machining, with integration of fly-by-wire (FBW) actuation, bleed-air ducting, and pressurisation systems.
