- FAA Composite Manufacturing Facility
We partner with OEMs to fully support performance enhancing aerospace composite solutions. As a comprehensive composite manufacturing facility, we work with you through the entire process, from final design to regulatory certification. Our business aviation experience includes winglets and part enhancements that decrease aircraft weight and increase aerodynamics.
We begin by building a collaborative partnership with you then work with you through several steps that result in a successful, certified final product. In the first step, we review your full CAD drawing for your part. We then build the required tooling to craft the part followed by creating a rapid prototype of your part. From there, we use the prototype to test and refine the design before fabricating your full-size, complete part in-house.
We produce the final part and perform complete finish work, including paint. The part is then tested as we gather all the data required for certification. When testing is complete, we assist with FAA, EASA, and other regulatory approvals. Upon certification, we begin producing the part in small or large batches.

Project Examples
Project Details
When certifying an engine upgrade solution for the Cessna Caravan 208B, Blackhawk Aerospace Upgrades partnered with ACS to engineer and manufacture a new composite cowling to accommodate the upgraded aircraft’s larger, more powerful engine and dual port exhaust. The improved cowling design significantly reduces installation losses and improves inlet efficiency. In full production today at ACS, the cowling is part of a complete performance solution increasing the aircrafts operating capabilities.
