Designing for Defense
With demands for lighter, more nimble and more efficient military aircraft, Spirit’s unique design-for-manufacturability capabilities enable innovative solutions for military challenges. Systems, components and tooling are designed and manufactured to meet distinct mission requirements while delivering cost savings.
Design-Build Efficiencies
Partnering with Spirit early allows design for manufacturability for better-engineered plans, tooling solutions, production efficiencies and on-time delivery. High-end developmental engineering teams, integrated product teams and systems engineers ensure well-designed program execution every step of the way.
Innovation in Design: Bell V-280
Spirit AeroSystems’ unique capability to design, build and deliver with the highest quality, lowest possible cost and speed to market was demonstrated when the company designed and assembled the first all-composite Bell V-280 Helicopter fuselage in under 22 months.
Delegated Design Authority
Spirit’s developmental engineering capabilities are demonstrated in the unusual level of delegated design authority granted by Spirit customers. The Boeing 777 flies with an all-new propulsion system, designed completely by Spirit engineers. This talent translates well to defense platforms where, rather than simply tweak existing designs, the Spirit team builds innovation into the system from the start.
