Established in 2008, Arcadia has been propelling through the Aerospace industry providing composite airframe manufacturers solutions to their nondestructive inspection applications. The majority of components AAI assists with are large complex components considered "fracture critical structure". Arcadia Aerospace engineering teams and composite experts provide passenger, private, and military aircraft manufacturers access to several solution platforms. Products range from the analysis or qualification of NDT methods on programs at a high-level, deployment of processes on the manufacturing floor, through to including the design and manufacturing of specialized tooling, handling equipment and complex machinery that performs the critical analysis for them. Over the years, AAI has interrogated components on the scale of large upper and lower wing segments, complex fuselage structures, engine nacelles, flaps, stabilizers and many other control surfaces. In addition, AAI's inspection teams have certified airframe and power plant mechanics trained in composite repair and re-inspection. Arcadia Aerospace also provides long-term partnership commitments with members of its client base that provide on-going solutions for their manufacturing programs, rate-readiness plans as well as all inclusive certification and approval processes.
