Since 1947, the Composites activity of Zodiac Aerospace designs and manufactures parts and sub-assemblies out of composite materials for the Aeronautical and Defence sectors. Static or mobile parts of engines and nacelles for civil and military aircraft (CFM56, GE 90 and M 53 programs for example) as well as structural parts for optical systems or sonar systems, the containers for emergency floatation systems and emergency evacuation slides are examples of the varied techniques that we have mastered.

• Parts for aircraft engines 
  

  Point before M53 engine, joint of locating bearing before CFM56, acoustical panels CFM56
  

• Components for engine Aircraft and nacelles

  Design and development, from the preliminary draft until certification, components of thrust reversers engines for civil aircraft. Scoops for A340-500/600 thrust reverser; cascades for A380/GP7200 thrust reverser, scoops for A380/T900&GP7200 thrust reverser.
  

• Aircraft emergency slides containers and helicopter emergency floats containers
  

  Slides containers for A321
  In association with other companies of the group, the Division develops and builds containers for emergency evacuation systems and emergency floatation systems. The programs equipped with this are the AIRBUS A 318/319/320/321 (Off-wing slides containers and decorative covers of door sliding rafts) and various EUROCOPTER helicopters (DOLPHIN, PUMA, SUPER PUMA and NH 90).
  

• Aeronautical and aerospace structures
  

  Topowl optical structure, helicopter-borne winch, SONAR parts, structural housing for the Primary Electrical Power Distribution Center (PEPDC) of the A380,…
  

• Composite tanks for auxiliary fuel system
  

  In connection with the Elastomer Technologies Division (DPE), the Composites activity has developed and manufactured additional fuel cell tanks for helicopters (Sikorsky S92, Eurocopter EC225).
