Built for aerospace manufacturing environments

AiroQue supports aerospace, defense and space manufacturers and their Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers — including AS9100-certified organizations and companies preparing for certification.

01 of 08

Aerospace

Commercial, business aviation and rotorcraft supply chains, where flow-down requirements, configuration control and documented process control drive most quality findings.

  • Control Plans covering machining, special processes and assembly
  • PFMEA aligned to the released routing
  • Special-characteristic flow-down from customer drawings
  • Documentation revised for engineering change activity

02 of 08

Defense

Defense primes and their supplier base, where contractual quality requirements, traceability and change control are examined closely.

  • Contract and program-specific documentation requirements
  • Traceability and record requirements built into Control Plans
  • Reaction plans covering containment and notification
  • Quality-system documentation supporting audits

03 of 08

Space

Launch, satellite and space hardware programs running low volumes at high consequence, where risk analysis has to be genuinely specific.

  • Process risk analysis for low-volume, high-criticality builds
  • Inspection planning for limited-run hardware
  • Production-readiness documentation before first build
  • Work instructions for build and integration steps

04 of 08

Precision machining

CNC milling, turning and multi-axis machining, including job shops supporting several aerospace customers at once.

  • Control Plans by part family and machine capability
  • In-process inspection frequencies and sampling
  • First-off and set-up verification written into the plan
  • Reaction plans for tool wear, offsets and out-of-tolerance conditions

05 of 08

Electromechanical manufacturing

Assemblies combining machined details, wiring, bonding, potting and functional test.

  • Process Flow across mechanical and electrical operations
  • PFMEA covering assembly and test failure modes
  • Test and inspection documentation
  • Operator-facing visual work instructions

06 of 08

Sheet metal

Forming, fabrication, welding, joining and finishing operations feeding aerospace structures and details.

  • Process Flow including outside processing and finishing
  • Control of forming, welding and special-process parameters
  • Inspection planning for formed and welded features
  • Rework loop and rejection point documentation

07 of 08

Composite manufacturing

Layup, cure, bonding, trim and inspection processes where process parameters carry much of the product risk.

  • Process parameter controls in the Control Plan
  • PFMEA covering material handling, layup and cure
  • Inspection and NDT requirements identified in the plan
  • Traceability and material-control documentation

08 of 08

Aerospace assembly

Mechanical assembly, installation, integration and test operations, including build-to-print work.

  • Assembly sequence documented as a Process Flow
  • Torque, fastening and installation controls
  • Inspection checkpoints written into work instructions
  • Reaction plans for assembly and test nonconformance

Not sure where your documentation stands?

A short conversation is usually enough to identify whether the gap is in the PFMEA, the Control Plan, the inspection plan, or the alignment between them.
