In aerospace composite manufacturing, companies typically fall into one of two categories. Large manufacturers offer advanced capabilities but often come with high costs, slow turnaround times, and rigid processes. They also require customers to place minimum order quantities, often forcing them to buy more than they need. On the other hand, smaller niche manufacturers provide flexibility but may lack the necessary equipment, engineering expertise, or ability to scale efficiently. FDC Aero Composites bridges this gap by combining the best of both worlds. The company offers the advanced technological capabilities of larger firms with the agility, affordability, and customer care of a smaller company—filling a critical void in the industry. “We blend visionary thinking, advanced technology, and precision manufacturing to elevate aerospace to new heights,” says Eric Parent, CEO of FDC Aero Composites. From rapid prototyping and custom tooling to full-scale production, FDC provides end-to-end manufacturing solutions. What sets the company apart is its ability to handle every aspect of composite manufacturing and assembly entirely in-house, thanks to a state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced machinery. The facility features cutting-edge equipment, including a large autoclave for curing composite materials, enabling the production of aerospace parts with exceptional precision and strength. Unlike many competitors, FDC utilizes a large upgraded CNC machine to ensure precise cutting and shaping of complex parts. Additionally, its in-house paint shop allows for smooth, high-quality finishes. The facility also boasts advanced 3D scanning for detailed analysis and large-scale ovens for thorough processing, allowing FDC to deliver rapid turnarounds while consistently meeting clients' demanding specifications. To complete its offer, FDC owns a thermoforming machine for the application of finishing, like Tedlar. These resources enable the company to provide superior parts quickly and cost-effectively, making it an ideal composite manufacturing partner. Beyond its advanced machinery, FDC operates with a skilled team of 55 experts specializing in composite technologies. This expertise allows the company to rapidly produce parts, even on short notice, and at a lower cost. From designing and producing custom tools and molds to providing reverse engineering solutions, FDC’s team takes a comprehensive approach to composite manufacturing. Its dedicated team and world-class facility have earned FDC a loyal client base, with many customers maintaining partnerships for over a decade—a testament to the company's commitment to delivering exceptional service and value.

For more than seven decades, CMC Electronics has engineered the critical avionics systems that pilots rely on to navigate today’s skies. From advanced flight management computers to intuitive cockpit displays, CMC’s technology enhances situational awareness and operational safety across commercial, business, regional and military aircraft worldwide. By turning complex flight data into clear, actionable information, CMC empowers pilots to make smarter decisions. At the heart of CMC’s offering are its sophisticated flight management systems (FMS), which provide pilots with precise navigation and flight planning capabilities. These systems integrate a wide range of data sources to optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption and ensure adherence to air traffic control requirements. By automating complex flight tasks, CMC’s FMS solutions reduce pilot workload and enhance overall flight performance. Complementing the FMS, CMC offers a suite of cockpit display systems, including primary flight displays and multifunction displays. These high-resolution screens deliver critical flight information, such as attitude, airspeed, altitude and navigation data, in an intuitive and easy-to read format. Advanced features like synthetic vision and terrain awareness enhance situational awareness, enabling pilots to make informed decisions in challenging flight environments. The company also designs and manufactures navigation and communication systems that support safe and reliable aircraft operations. These include GPS receivers, inertial reference units and data radios, ensuring accurate positioning and reliable data exchange for both commercial and military missions. Comprehensive Systems for Every Mission For aircraft requiring precise handling, CMC offers digital flight control systems and mission computers that process flight data and control aircraft actuators. These enable smooth and responsive flight characteristics, enhance autopilot functions and support mission-specific avionics in defense applications. By integrating multiple systems, CMC’s solutions deliver comprehensive avionics suites that meet the unique requirements of each aircraft platform. Serving a diverse clientele, including original equipment manufacturers, airlines, business jet operators and defense agencies, CMC’s aviation solutions are deployed across aircraft types, from large commercial airliners and regional turboprops to private jets and military helicopters
