Composite Design & Manufacturing services

To support our customers, we can provide the services of composite design engineering and manufacturing, depending on the needs. We can take design responsibility or provide built-to-print manufacturing. In projects where we supply automated manufacturing systems, we can also take the initial manufacturing on-board, ramp it up and then hand it over to the customer, once production is robust and in full swing. This gives much more flexibility in make-or-buy decisions and reduces the risk for customers to adopt automation.

Manufacturing capabilities

We have two sites, in the Netherlands and UK where we can provide these services.  The site in the Netherlands is a fully equipped and aerospace qualified manufacturing site (AS9100), with cleanroom, oven and autoclave capacity, 2D and 3D milling stations and certified quality inspection systems.  Furthermore it has our automated manufacturing systems available for efficient and high rate manufacturing.  The site in the UK is focused on more industrial and cost-efficient manufacturing processes and has a strong capability in larger and thick-walled products, using resin infusion processes.

Design services

We have been designing composites products for 25 years and know how to create the right product that fulfills the requirements, is strong and stiff enough and is efficient to manufacture. We use advanced 3D design and finite element analysis tools and understand the materials to create the proper input data.  Over the years we have created many and qualified many different product designs in many different markets, both in thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials.

Supporting student teams

At Airborne we believe in a new world where boundaries are continiously explored. We believe in winners who challenge these boundaries and push them. Therefore we support and sponsor several student teams who aim for the sky and want to make their dreams real.

Hyperloop

The TU Delft Hyperloop team is trying to build the fastest Hyperloop. Several of the main components of the Hyperloop vehicle are manufactured with Airborne’s automation technology. We are a proud sponsor of the Hyperloop team and look forward to see what innovative solutions they come up with.

Silverwing

The Silverwing Aeronautics students from TU Delft are working on their latest design of a near-VTOL personal flying aircraft, with some help at the Airborne facilities. We are thrilled to be sponsor of their quest to win the Go Fly competition of Boeing, where the use of composites play an important role to make the aircraft light and strong.

AerGo

AerGo is a TU Delft student team with great ambitions when it comes to building the world’s lightest electrically powered personal aircraft. We are proud sponsor of their ambitions.

Human Power Dream Team 

The Human Power Team is a student team consisting of students from the TU Delft and the VU Amsterdam. Its objective: to break the world speed record for human powered vehicles. They do this by building an aerodynamic vehicle, called the VeloX. Airborne helps the team to get the materials they need to produce and we provide an oven for post-curing the bike.

Forze

Forze Hydrogen Electric Racing is a TU Delft student team promoting hydrogen technology by designing, building and controlling a unique race car. Airborne provides space and technical support in the production of all composite components and supervises the production.

DARE

DARE (Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering) is one of the most advanced student rocketry teams in the world, based at TU Delft. Since their founding in 2001, they have accumulated over 19 years of experience in high-powered rocketry. Airborne provides the DARE team hands-on composites experience to reach space with a fully student-built rocket.
