Rostec has Increased Production of Structural Materials for Aerospace Sector

ORPE Technologiya named after A.G. Romashin, as part of Rostec State Corporation, has increased production of polymer, fiber-glass and aluminum load-bearing honeycomb fillers by more than twice and has completely covered the Russian aerospace sector needs. The factory capacity makes it possible to produce up to 600 cubic meters of structural materials which are used in advanced PD-8 and PD-14 engines, Su-57 fifth-generation fighters and Oreol space ship. 

Material for honeycomb fillers is chosen individually for each structure and depends on the terms of reference. Thus, aluminum foil load-bearing honeycomb fillers can withstand high loads and therefore they are used in combat aircraft, including Su-57 fighters, Proton-M and Angara launch-vehicle components. 

Polymer fillers are more lightweight, but less resistant to loads. They are predominantly used in interiors. These include a railway car, passenger plane cabin or interior space of Oreol space ship modules. Fiber-glass fillers withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees and have high strength, radio transparency, resistance to corrosive media. They are used in land- and sea-based radar domes, aircraft engine components, including PD-8 and PD-14.
