Sigma has industry-leading experience in manufacturing many configurations of airframe ducts for airframes of both civil and military programmes and their ATA Chapters.
Airframe ducts and their applications vary widely in design. We offer a full range of integrated ducting assemblies, from basic to complex applications, to a broad range of customers, including air conditioning, environmental control systems (ECS), reaction control systems (RCS) and other airframe applications.
We also support a range of sizes across various materials, such as aluminium, steel, titanium, Inconel and Nimonic and offer new product introductions from concept through to volume production through to the provision of spares.
Applications
- Air Conditioning Ducts
- Anti-ice Ducting
- Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Ducting
- Bleed Air Ducting
- Environmental Control System (ECS) Ducting
