Custom Manufacturing of Aluminum Dash for UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter |
|
With the lives of our service men and women at stake on a daily basis throughout the world, we take our work at J & N Metals very seriously when it comes to designing high-flying materials for the worlds best army.
As an example of our capabilities, the Army wanted a new dashboard for their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters in Afghanistan, and we were happy to be of service. Strategizing a blueprint both through customer-supplied print and 2D CAD Drawing, we proceeded to design a 56 x 16 x 14 dashboard frame. We used nothing but the most rigorous methods of assembly: 2D laser cutting, CNC machining, forming, painting in accordance with MIL-PRF-85285, conversion coating in accordance with MIL-DTL-5541, as well as vigorous riveting and heat-treatment assembly. Stylishly unbreakable, the results are striking. |
