After Skyways Technics Hungary achieved the triple certification EASA/FAA/CAA UK, back in October 2023, the company has reached another important milestone in its development. The workshops focused on regional and narrow-body aircraft structural repairs are now able to propose a complete set of repair schemes for all types of commercial aircraft nose radomes.
From the use of hot bonder and heat blankets of various sizes to the repair of the most extensive damages cured with autoclave, Skyways Technics Hungary strives to propose the most quality and cost-efficient solution for each repair event. Repairs can also be covered by a radio-electric transmissivity test ensuring the standards set by RTCA DO-213 are met.
After setting a very high standard in its composite shop which enables a fully controlled and clean environment, Skyways Technics Hungary developed an agile and tailor-made curing oven with the help of the German company Msquare, expert in heating solutions for aerospace applications.
Markus Kaden, CEO of Msquare GmbH said : “The oven for Skyways Technics is operating with ten individual warm-air fans RedAir and its control is carried out via eight temperature sensors, which can be freely placed on the component, ensuring a homogeneous air flow up to 180°C and uniform curing of the composite component. The EasyHeat software ensures simple operation and recording for the desired curing recipes. The entire process is monitored and documented remotely and digitally. Overall, this oven helps to improve the efficiency, quality and control of Radome repair and fulfil the high demands of aviation.”
Furthermore, Skyways Technics Hungary was recently trained and qualified by Airbus Avionics on A320-family radomes composite shell replacement. Amaury Parent, Head of Repair of Skyways Technics, commented: “The addition of A320 radome repair capability to our Hungarian site is a natural and strategic step for us, as we see the A320 platform as a source of continuous growth for our repair activities going forward in all regions.”
Skyways Technics Hungary will continue the development of its capabilities and capacity throughout the year, planning a total headcount of 30 full-time employees by the end of 2024.
