10,000 blades

Rockwood Composites and Leonardo have marked the 10th anniversary of their partnership with delivery of the 10,000th blade for the towed decoy on the Eurofighter Typhoon.

All parts are fully CNC machined and supplied paint-ready on a just-in-time basis. Rockwood has also supplied Leonardo with connector plates for the wing. Holly Jones, senior subcontract buyer at Leonardo in the UK, says: “Our 10-year partnership with Rockwood is testament to their ability to deliver quality composite components, consistently, when we need them.”
