Ducommun Inc. has received a contract from Airbus to produce titanium structures for engine support on the A320neo (new engine option) aircraft. Ducommun will manufacture these titanium engine support structures using its proprietary hot forming and super-plastic forming processes at its operation centers in Coxsackie, New York and Parsons, Kansas.
In addition, Airbus has awarded Ducommun its first work on the A330neo platform. This is an engineering design support contract in which Ducommun will work with Airbus to improve the manufacturability, cost and function of certain metal structure applications.
