Aerostructures has participated on numerous space vehicle development programs. In the late 1970's through the early 1980's, Aerostructures worked with NASA Langley to develop metallic TPS as a potential replacement for the Space Shuttle's ceramic tiles. Aerostructures was also an active participant on the National Aerospace Plane (NASP). Shown at left is a NASP developmental engine. Aerostructures fabricated active cooled leading edge components for this test model. Shown below is an Inco 909 heat exchanger structure, which was built and tested for the NASP program.
