Air Frame Structures

Today's airframe manufacturers demand improved performance in conjunction with the ease of procurement of parts at a competitive price. Hitchcock has established that we can consistently meet the markets' ever-changing requirements.

We continually strive to achieve innovative resolutions for the aerospace and industrial industries. Having been the pioneering foundry, Hitchcock was able to produce the first pressurized door for the aerospace industry. Since then, Hitchcock has continued to build a reputation for being the leader in structural castings by establishing a proven track record in precision and dependability.

Feature	Benefit

Active Involvement from Conception to Completion	Design participation experience Manufacture of the casting Ability to machine the casting Control the surface finish and treatments requirements Install the hardware

One-Piece Structure	Significant overall cost savings Eliminates assembly and fasteners Reduces purchase order administration time and costs Reduces number of drawings and parts lists Reduces money tied up in inventory of parts needed for fabrications, which leads to an overall lower price

Freedom to Gate and Chill as Needed	Soundness of metal throughout casting Designer can include bosses, flanges, and other features and still maintain metallurgical integrity

Complexity and Size Capability	Designer can create as large a casting as necessary Achieve aerodynamic surfaces even when developing a complex dimensional and/or metallurgical casting Permits the ability to produce complex geometric shapes and designs that would otherwise be impossible to create
