Rotor and Prop Blade Expertise
Eagle Aviation Technologies is a leader in the design and fabrication of high-performance composite rotor and propeller blades. Our work supports a wide range of platforms including rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Our team delivers precision-engineered blades built for demanding aerospace environments from concept through final assembly.
Rotor and Prop Blade Highlights:
- Bell V-280 Valor (JMR-TD Program): Fabrication of the proprotor blades for the first V-280 tiltrotor aircraft, part of the U.S. Army’s Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstrator initiative.
- Sikorsky S-97 Raider: Detailed design and full-scale fabrication of the main rotor blades for this high-speed, next-generation scout helicopter.
- Boeing Phantom Eye: Fabrication of the composite propeller blades for this high-altitude, long-endurance UAV.
- Sikorsky X2 Technology Demonstrator: Design and fabrication of the main rotor blades for the Collier Award-winning X2 compound helicopter.
- Army Research Laboratory: Development of scaled active rotor blades for wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic evaluation.
Our composite blade programs demonstrate a proven ability to meet strict aerospace standards while pushing the boundaries of performance, strength, and aerodynamic efficiency.
Airframe Components
Rotor and Prop Blade Expertise
Rotor and Prop Blade Expertise
We specialize in the design and fabrication of composite airframe components for rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft. Our capabilities include everything from structural panels and fairings to fuselage sections, ducts, doors, and inlet assemblies. We provide engineering design, tooling, layup, bonding, trimming, and assembly for rapid prototypes and production-grade components.
Airframe Component Highlights:
- Sikorsky S-76D: Engineering and fabrication of the composite inlet door and engine air system.
- Complex contoured fuselage skins and bulkheads
- Lightweight access panels, equipment enclosures, and aerodynamic fairings
- Precision-trimmed composite parts with tight tolerances and repeatable quality
With in-house composite layup facilities, a precision machine shop, and QA-driven assembly processes, Eagle offers a streamlined, start-to-finish solution for aerospace-grade composite airframe parts.
