Building new partnership in Farnborough International Airshow !    Today, Sonaca and BIKAR METALS are proud to announce their partnerhsip. BIKAR will progressively become our major service supplier of aluminium cut to sizes and sheets direct line feed.   Farnborough International Airshow was a fantastic opportunity to exchange and discuss on our strategies.   #aerospace #supplier #procurement #partnership

Sonaca team level up! One shot out of autoclave SQRTM control surfaces technology is now fully ready! This innovation boils down in heavily integrating multiple composite part co-cured in one single step! Our teams have demonstrated this technology for a whole set of control surfaces from preliminary design to manufacturing and certification. While significantly reducing recurrent costs thanks to combination of both lay-up automation and assembly time decrease, this mature technology provides prominent weight savings and outstanding quality. This technology is now ready for many opportunities: advanced air mobility, business jets but also commercial and regional aircraft. Want to know more? Come and meet us at Farnborough International Airshow in our stand in Hall 1 Nr 1157. Steve Sciarrabone #aerospace #engineering #technology #innovation

🛎 London is waking up on the sounds of Big Ben bells. Sonaca teams from Sao Jose Dos Campos to Gosselies or Seattle, everybody is here to start Farnborough International Airshow. As an international group, @Sonaca can count on all its employees spread around the world. With 15 aerostructure plants and 3 engineering offices, we gather our strengths to better serve our customers daily and provide innovative solutions. Join and meet us at Farnborough International Airshow in our stand in Hall 1 Nr 1157. #aerospace #customer #teams #satisfaction

Cost engineer leader, support engineer, system engineer or stress manager...Those are ones of the shortage positions at Sonaca among more than 100 open positions. Working at Sonaca means managing innovative and challenging projects. This is why we want to inspire the next generation.  We will have this opportunity at Farnborough International Airshow by sharing our vision for the future with our diversification strategy and our latest innovations. Join us at our stand in Hall 1 Nr 1157 from 22 to 26 July.     #future #aerospace #space #defense #customerexperience #strongertogether

⏳ How much time does it take to design and produce the wing for new urban flying taxis Wisk? From preliminary design to physical prototype, Sonaca teams delivered the entire wing in 16 months. Customer driven, excellence and team spirit are what made us successful. 👏 Congratulations to the team! #aerospace #engineering #production #innovation #sustainable

🚀 Eyes to the stars! Europe finds its way back to space and Sonaca is part of the adventure! As we are talking, the beautiful Ariane 6 rocket is getting ready for take-off. On its board, a little bit of Sonaca! Sonaca is supplying several key components of each Ariane 6 rocket from two of its strategic manufacturing sites: Belgium and Romania. These include composite aerodynamic covers, as well as the boosters back covers and flanges. Congratulations to our teams, who contribute together and with our customer ArianeGroup to this wonderful adventure! #space #ariane6 #production #engineering #collaboration

Sonaca is adding a new feather to his cap! The ballet of trucks and shovels has just started at our Gosselies site. Following the award of the new contract for the A321 inboard flap, Airbus' rising platform, Sonaca, in partnership with WANTY and BSolutions, has begun construction of the future extension of our Large Sheet Metal plant. This will house a mechanical machining equipment for the inboard flap skins. This strategic investment will enable us to acquire new skills and develop our technological headquarter. See you in a year for the start-up of the plant! #aerospace #future #capabilities #production #engineering 

5 years later, Sonaca closes the curtain on HLFC Win. If you had to remember few things from this project? ✔ One JEC Composites Innovation award in 2023 ✔ Numerous technologies to be used for next developments : Krueger flap, induction de-icing system,... ✔ And our partners congratulations for the great work This project was achieved with the partnership of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Aernnova Aerospace ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab and Airbus as coordinator. Cleansky2 initiative aims to develop new technologies for a clean, innovative and competitive aviation system. As a reminder, HLFC (Hybrid Laminar Flow Control) technology is designed to maintain the smoothest possible flow along the wing. It offers the potential for significant reductions in specific fuel consumption. The teams developed a ground demonstrator to check the feasibility and integration of all associated HLFC systems.    #aerospace #innovation #engineering #industry
