Glass Fiber Composite Filament Winding
I need a pressure vessel, motor case or other body of revolution wound. Who winds it, at what diameter and length, and over what liner?
What it is
Winding resin-wetted tow onto a rotating mandrel at controlled angles. The standard route for pressure vessels, motor cases and any body of revolution.

CTL Aerospace, Inc. VerifiedAS9100NADCAP CompositesNADCAP Materials Testing Laboratories
Filament winding in glass fibre. CTL works silica and quartz as well as carbon, glass and Kevlar, which points at radome and thermal protection work rather than general airframe structure. AS9100D and ITAR compliant; the NADCAP scope is stated only as a 'compliant captive laboratory'. Confirm it. No autoclave dimensions or part size limits are published.
