PADDEN DESIGN ENGINEERING Advanced Composite-Metal Hybrid Design for Aerospace

Structural Component Design for Advanced Vehicle Systems

Critical propulsion and mechanical system components have traditionally been made only from high performance alloys which carry a huge weight and cost penalty.

Our Composite-Metal Hybrid (CMH) technology greatly reduces this penalty with a combination of high-modulus fiber-reinforced polymers and the robust bearing strength of high-performance alloys.

The result is a synergistic composite-metal hybrid that is superior in weight and performance to its homogeneous material counterpart.
