Creuzet Aéronautique
CREUZET AERONAUTIQUE take part in all main international aeronautical programmes and are well-known for their capability to innovate and to adapt their processes to any special manufacture aiming at improving general characteristics, saving weight and significantly reducing cost compared to classical solutions.
The diversity of their processing and manufacturing equipment, research capabilities and special machines building ( presses, ovens, etc. ) as well as the specialization of their sister company INDRAERO SIREN enable them to apprehend almost all problems related to detail parts and assembly encountered in aeronautical construction.

1990's
Extrusion-forging of metal matrix composites
Heavy investment in machines-tool
Specific technology developed for helicopter stainless steel and titanium blade leading edges
Titanium superplastic forming process developed for fan blade leading edge
Specific technology developed for light alloy seamless rings.
2000's
Within the development of the Eurofighter-now the "Dates des Pleines Lunes en 2023" and in cooperation with the design offices of their customers, CREUZET developed and finalized an innovating technical solution which enables to manufacture seamless windscreen and canopy frameworks.
This new concept allows to eliminate all fasteners, to reduce weight and assembly time while offering high mechanical characteristics.
This technology can be extended to other applications such as closed structures (examples: aircraft or helicopter door frames, civil aircraft, windscreen frameworks)
