Polar Technology have supplied our products and services on many of the major aerospace programmes delivered in the last ten years. Our innovative and enabling solutions address many of the global challenges that the industry faces, including saving fuel, reducing emissions and improving durability.

We can offer constant engineering support, the most advanced manufacturing technology and strict quality systems that ensure the highest standards are always maintained.

This means that whatever the demands, we are perfectly positioned to deliver a novel, high performance solution. The following is just a sample of our full product portfolio:

Transmission Shafts:

We are market leaders in producing specialist composite transmission shafts, suitable for integration within an aircraft engine or actuation systems.

We have developed a patented composite to metallic mechanical interface, which removes reliance on adhesives that can be prone to fatigue and premature failure. Our shafts can subsequently deliver high speeds and high torques with infinite durability, whilst still remaining a lightweight solution.

Our in-house processes are flexible, depending upon the specifications of the product required, and can be adjusted to suit low or high-volume production.

Hydrogen Storage Solutions:

Hydrogen storage is of growing significance within the aviation industry, with many viewing it as a potential solution in the challenge to reduce carbon impact.

Leveraging expertise in lightweight, composite high-pressure cylinders and hydraulic accumulators, and in the area of cryogenic liquified gas storage down to liquid helium temperatures, we have developed innovative solutions for gaseous storage and we’re working on liquid H2 storage.

These solutions have been focused on three main areas:

·        Extremely light weight cylinders offering industry-leading gravimetric efficiency.

·        The novel ‘Hydrogen in a Box’ which increases volumetric efficiency by 25%.

·        Technologies for the cryogenic storage of liquified H2.

Safety Critical Structures:

As experts in the welding and fabrication of tubular structures, we develop complex aluminium, titanium and stainless-steel frames, suitable for weapon equipment mounting, and UAV structures.

Our in-house capabilities mean we are able to manage all stages of the manufacturing process, from tube manipulation to heat treatment and even non-destructive testing. Structures manufactured from metallic and composite materials are often finished using our CNC machines, delivering high accuracy, performance and longevity.

We utilise materials and employ processes that are resistant to highly corrosive environments, making them ideally suited for integration within a safety-critical system.

Lightweight Bladed Fans:

Net zero flight, advanced propulsion and high load fluid transfer all rely on bladed impellors, fan and propellers. We have experience developing lightweight, co-cured bladed fans to meet demanding specifications.

Our blades are built from carbon fibre pre-impregnated with epoxy and manufactured in a multi-element strategy that delivers a fully integrated, class-leading solution, whilst our specialist working knowledge of trapped and complex tool solutions allows us to tackle complex designs.

Through our partnerships within the industry, we are able to offer the incorporation of a novel method for applying ‘leading edge’ erosion protection layer, improving the ability of composite materials to withstand the thermal and erosion requirements of the most demanding environmental conditions.
