HITCO Carbon Composites, Inc.

United States

HITCO CARBON COMPOSITES, INC., has been developing and producing complex composite structures for commercial and military aircraft for over half a century. The Boeing 767 Flap Track Fairings produced at HITCO since 1981 are organized into lean flow production lines, employing just-in-time material deliveries and dedicated cross-trained product on teams. Each ship set consists of 18 close tolerances, complex-shaped components. Flap Track Fairings are located on the underside of the wings and offer protection for the flap control mechanism as well as improved aerodynamic stability. Experience in the design and manufacturing of large composite structures is showcased in the Boeing C-17 Tail Cone Assembly. This oversized component is a single-piece carbon epoxy structure, reinforced with longitudinal carbon epoxy stiffeners and metallic frames. Our experienced product on teams meet critical contour to tolerances and hinge location requirements for mating our component to each aircraft fuselage, assuring ease of assembly for our customer. HITCO has produced the first fifteen ship sets of the Boeing Tanker air-scoop using flow production lines employing just-in-time material deliveries, and dedicated cross-trained production teams. Each scoop had three sub-components. The Boeing C-17 Vapor Barrier Assembly is an oversized three-piece fiberglass structure. Our experienced production teams meet critical contour tolerances and attach location requirements for mating our component to each aircraft fuselage

Protect and insulate people and equipment against temperatures up to 2300°F HITCO CARBON COMPOSITES, INC. is a world leader in the manufacture of specialty insulation components fabricated from a wide range of high temperature fabrics, nonwovens and metal foils. The construction of insulation products can be tailored to customer specifications, drawing upon our extensive experience with both metallic and non-metallic insulation materials to optimize:

Our Materials are already in use on some of the world's most well-known aircraft. We have been manufacturing CarbonCarbon (CC) brake materials from their initial development on high performance military aircraft through the wide spread acceptance on commercial aircraft. Our CC materials are qualified on a number of military and commercial aircraft. Years of production and development of aircraft brakes have led to new products and applications utilizing the technology and unique properties of carboncarbon.
