Thermoplastic Composite Ducting
Senior Aerospace BWT’s semi-rigid thermoplastic ducting is an ideal partner to a full system solution. We manufacture the duct from proprietary ultra-lightweight reinforced composite materials that offer smooth bore solutions.
Bespoke Components
The design of aircraft and the incorporation of many modern features, means that it’s important to make the best use of the available space to install any aircraft system. What sets BWT apart is that it has many years of experience delivering ducting with minimum weight and pressure drop.
We design ducting systems and manufacture products to almost any complex geometry, whilst maintaining performance integrity. We achieve this complexity by using a proprietary lightweight, smooth bore, semi-rigid composite construction. BWT’s decades-long manufacturing experience, means that our products can be formed into almost any shape. Above all, BWT knows how to make ultimate use of the space envelope.
