Lightweight, high-strength aluminum has played a critical role in the aerospace industry since the Wright brothers’ first flight. Today, demand for new aircraft—driven by global population growth, increasing per capita incomes and higher penetration of air travel—continues to grow, and our aerospace product offerings continue to advance the industry.
Our solutions range from the world’s largest fuselage panels and wing skins, to thick aluminum plate and extrusions for floor beams and seat tracks. With significant multi-year contracts among major commercial aircraft OEMs and framers, Arconic offers high-performance sheet, plate and extruded products for almost every aircraft in the sky.
Arconic also supplies high-strength aluminum to the defense and space industry. Across air, land and sea, our defense innovations maximize speed, agility and survivability. Collaborating with military and business partners, we create sheet, plate and extruded solutions that are lighter, faster, stronger and more cost effective.
