Aerometals

Aerometals has announced a developmental program to certify an engine inlet barrier filter system for the Bell 412EP helicopter.

The companies have agreed to work together to resume supplies of components and parts made by Aerometals for MD's rotorcraft.

The company is using computational fluid dynamics to assess airflow characteristics, resulting in a lighter and more efficient design.

The oil cooler impeller addresses a historical fin joint cracking problem.

The STC culminated a five-year certification process that involved some 100 hours of flight testing and a $6 million investment.

While they had been affiliated for years, Aerometals and FDC/aerofilters are now one company.
