Aerospace Aluminium Solutions for Aviation and Space Exploration

Aluminium accounts for 75% to 80% of materials used in modern aircraft airframes, making it indispensable for aviation and space exploration. Discover how Simmal provides tailored solutions to meet the aerospace industry’s most rigorous demands.

Why Aluminium Is Essential for Aerospace

Aluminium’s unique properties make it indispensable in aerospace engineering.

• Lightweight: reduces fuel consumption and increases payload efficiency.
• Strong and Durable: ensures structural integrity under extreme conditions.
• Corrosion Resistant: ideal for high-performance, long-term applications.

Common Aerospace Applications:

• Fuselages and Wing Structures: lightweight yet strong for optimal flight performance.
• Landing Gear Components: strong under repeated stress.
• Interior Fittings: lightweight materials for cabins and cargo.
• Satellite and Spacecraft Components: precision engineering for extreme environments.
