Aerospace prototyping

North Aircraft has a proven track record and extensive expertise in manufacturing prototypes.

Using loft tooling we can create low cost solutions that allow parts to be manufactured. Our prototyping capability includes internal structural components and assembly of components in the airplane to prove the concept.

 

Industrialization

We have experience in transitioning from the initial prototyping phase to more mature tooling and fixtures, migrating into series production.

We work closely with our customers to ensure the optimal approach with regards to cost and timing.
