CASE STUDY:
High Performance Composite Drilling for Boeing 787
Boeing produces the largest and most advanced commercial aircraft in the world. In order to reduce weight, they utilize large amounts of composite materials. On the 787, the majority of the primary structure is made from composites. Boeing was in search of a drill manufacturer to help them solve tool life and throughput issues in composite drilling during the final assembly of the 787’s body join.
