Kaman Composites’ FAA Part 145 Repair Station in Wichita, Kansas has earned FAA approval of two new composite repair capabilities, to include ATR and ERJ airframes.
“We aligned our strategic plan last year to assure composite repair capabilities on platforms where there were immediate needs. Specifically, we focused on the regional aircraft market, due to the amount of demand that we see,” said Malissa Nesmith, Senior Director of Business Development. “Kaman has historically performed most of the repair services of the Part 145 station for military support programs. As part of our on-going growth strategy, we have extended those repair services to include the commercial aftermarket. With the most recent FAA approvals, we are now offering composite repairs for structures on the ATR and ERJ aircrafts.”
Kaman Composites specializes in the production and repair of flight structures, including radomes, fairings, winglets and rotor blade repair.
“One specific area that sets Kaman Composites apart is our agility and our short turn-times,” explains Shawn Hawks, General Manager for Kaman Composites Wichita. “In today’s strained aviation travel environment, keeping our regional customers in the air is absolutely critical. With that as our key focus we will not only offer repairs to customer units, but we will have rotable units available for immediate exchange.
