Lift off with less

A combination of properties such as elevated temperature performance and chemical resistance of PAEK polymers are well suited for aircraft engine applications. Combined with design freedom and the potential to improve manufacturing efficiencies, make a compelling case to replace metal with PEEK and PAEK polymeric solutions.

Freedom of design and weight savings in bracket applications

For parts requiring mechanical performance that cannot be achieved with injected moulded solutions alone, aerospace engineers can rely on overmoulded composite solutions made from VICTREX AE™ 250 LMPAEK. Efficient manufacturing, weight savings up to 60%, and up to 5x specific strength vs. metal are just a few of the benefits of replacing metal with hybrid overmolded solutions.
