In this episode of Struck we discuss some of the unique parts manufacturers and what they're doing in the aerospace industry. Kanfit--who makes unique composite and metal parts--can create in-house what it often takes multiple parts suppliers to make. We also discuss Niles expanded metal foils and how they protect aircraft; lastly, we discussed Hondajet's unique and game-changing robotic painting system and why it makes a big difference in lightning protection.
