Secondary Structure Design Services
Engineering Lightweight, Reliable, and Manufacturable Aerospace Structures
Specialized secondary structure design and engineering services for commercial aircraft, business jets, defense platforms, and next-generation aerospace programs, focused on weight optimization, structural integrity, and compliance with aerospace standards.
What Are Secondary Structures?
Structures That Support Every System Onboard
Secondary structures are non-primary aircraft components designed to support and integrate onboard systems without carrying major flight loads. These structures play a critical role in accommodating electrical harnesses, hydraulic systems, avionics equipment, air-conditioning ducts, and other aircraft subsystems.
From conceptual design and bracket development to detailed engineering and manufacturing documentation, we deliver end-to-end solutions that seamlessly integrate mechanical, electrical, and environmental control systems within the aircraft architecture.
- Electrical harness brackets and supports
- Air conditioning and environmental control system (ECS) brackets
- Equipment mounting structures
- Sheet metal supports and attachments
- Cable routing and clamping structures
- Mounting frames and installation assemblies
- Interface and equipment support structures
