Integration Capabilities

Tier I Integrators design, produce and deliver large-scale complex aerostructures, specializing in specific major aircraft components.

As a Tier I Integrator, Vought partners with major aircraft manufacturers. We become an integral part of our customers' design and manufacturing teams. Throughout the development process, we work to meet each customer's distinct set of requirements. In manufacturing, our efforts are focused on delivery of quality, market-priced structures with exceptional reliability. We have the expertise and resources to outperform our competition.

We make the difference for customers in many ways. With Vought as a partner, our customers achieve a competitive advantage by:

• focusing on selling and delivering airplanes to meet the needs of their customers
  
• decreasing product development risk
  
• reducing infrastructure, product development lead time, production flow time and inventory
  
• lowering nonrecurring investment
  
• reacting and adapting quickly to market changes

Our capabilities allow us to progressively move up the value chain - assuming a greater work scope for our partners. This often includes the delivery of complete, fully integrated aircraft structures with electrical harnesses, hydraulic lines and power supplies - installed and ready to join with the adjacent system elements.

We have on-site systems test labs to validate all installations so that our structures are delivered to customers ready for final assembly. This integrated manufacturing capability is backed by more than 50 years of experience in aircraft systems design, installation and testing
