Micro perforation Consultation
For the past 40 years, CAV have applied their laser drilling techniques to the creation of micro perforated titanium for Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) applications.
Possessing unrivalled experience in the development of HLFC technology for commercial airframe application, CAV offers world-class expertise in flight physics, structure and system design, automated measurement, prototype production, machine design and production line creation.
We are compliant with FAR25/EASA CS-25 rules and regulations, ATA chapters and certified AS9100 Rev D.
Process Overview
Collaborative Success
We approach all of our projects collaboratively and seek to understand your complete aircraft design to ensure seamless integration of our HLFC technology and accomplish your performance goals.
By providing consultation from the initial concept design of your aircraft, we can fully optimise every aspect of HLFC application to maximise strategic gains.
If your aircraft design is already underway, or completed, we can also work with you at other levels of the design and manufacturing process, to assess potential benefits of HLFC application, create prototypes, conduct materials testing and develop a full production line.
CAV has provided laser perforated suction surfaces for:
Design testing
Flight test
Bird Strike
TTO and Pre-production
