Profile Composites Inc.

Advanced Aerospace Composites

Our on-going aerospace development and manufacturing activities include the Stratus lightweight advanced composite unmanned aerial vehicle for mining exploration.

Stratus facts:

infusion-molded carbon/kevlar ultralight structure
rated for performance under high load
13.5 ft wingspan

Profile Composites is also involved in supporting the development of a cost-effective infusion manufacturing solution for very large (15 m x 17 m) offset radio telescope structures.

DRAO 15-m telescope

Previous development on this program included:

Design/analysis/manufacturing of carbon-epoxy infused structural beams
Assistance in dish design and production
Analysis and base-line costing of on-site high-volume manufacturing
Production analysis for 4,000 dishes over 3 years (SKA program targets)
