Nacelle Systems
Quieter, more efficient aircraft
Redefining Mission Performance
In the Air and at Sea
At Collins Aerospace, we’re redefining aerospace and making the impossible come to life. Together, through collaboration with our military customers and OEM partners, we’re making more possible with our military flight control surfaces.
Through a number of advanced technologies, including aluminum GRID-LOCK®, out-of-autoclave thermoset and thermoplastic composite manufacturing processes, we’re developing flight control surfaces that make aircraft lighter – enabling faster mission speeds and reduced fuel burn; and stronger – reducing maintenance and life cycle costs.
Our 18,000+ offerings include both primary and secondary flight control surface design and manufacturing services. Surfaces include:
- Ailerons
- Rudders
- Elevators
- Flaps
- Slats
- Spoilers
- Horizontal stabilators
