The F404 engine

We are a partner with GE in the F404 engine. The F404 engine family powers multiple aircraft performing a broad spectrum of missions from low-level attack to high-altitude interceptors.
The baseline F404 was originally designed for the US Navy F/A-18 Hornet.
We produce fan/compressor cases and rotors as well as the afterburner liner.

Compressor rotors

Compressor rotors are highly stressed engine parts calling for advanced machining and inspection techniques
