Aileron, Trailing Edge Flaps & Shrouds

RUAG Aerostructures has a significant work share in the wings of the Boeing F/A-18 with the aileron and trailing edge flaps. The technologically sophisticated processing of these highly stressed components makes a decisive contribution to the agility and manoeuvrability of the combat aircraft. The shroud is a cover above the aileron to optimise aerodynamics.

RUAG Aerostructures is responsible for all components for the complete production and procurement. To date RUAG has supplied over 900 assemblies to its customer Boeing.
