Thermoplastics

Stork Fokker is a world leader in low-cost thermoplastic composites, with a range of processing technologies and unique designs developed during long-term research and development activity.

For example, now flying on the Airbus A340-500/600 are Stork Fokker-designed wing leading edges; similar components are being produced for the A380 very-large airliner.

Welding ribs to skins eliminates thousands of rivets and saves weight and labour time, making such technology cost-effective.
