M-DOT AEROSPACE Specializes in Production of:
hot formed titanium parts including -
- hot formed sheet metal parts in 6AL4V and other alloys
- press brake forming
- precision machining
- riveting and assembly of titanium structures
We have internally developed a hot forming process for titanium sheet metal
that meets Allied Signal and Gulfstream specifications. We can produce complete
sealed riveted structures using formed sheet metal parts and machined elements.
We are now developing a super plastic forming or SPF process. Our super plastic
forming process will enable us to produce complex shapes in titanium and other metals.
We are fully ISO9001 qualified. Call or e-mail us today for a quote.
Aircraft exhaust systems including -
- turboprop aircraft exhaust ducts, exhaust stacks, and eductor and ejector
pipes
- design, fabrication and repair of custom gas turbine exhaust ducts
- thin-wall stainless steel and inconel ducts
- TIG welding to MIL-W-2219 and customer specs
- stretch forming of thin wall compound shapes and elbows
With our 130-Ton hydraulic stretch press, we can stretch form stainless steel sheet
metal parts at a lower overall cost than hydroforming for limited production
runs. We also do rubber pad hydroforming on our hydraulic press. Shapes include:
elbows for aircraft tailpipes and gas turbine exhaust systems, gores for dishes and
curved flange sections. In our gtaw ( tig ) welding department we can weld stainless
steel and inco alloys in thicknesses down to .005 inch. We are ISO9001 qualified.
Complex prototypes and laboratory systems including
- complete gas turbine engines for mav and uav use.
- airflow ducting and measuring systems in stainless steel and inco alloys
- venturi flow measuring sections
- stainless steel manifolds
M-DOT AEROSPACE has a complete stand-alone engineering department
specializing in:
design of complete gas turbine engines and turbomachinery including -
- turbojets for unmanned vehicles (UAV s) and micro turbojets for micro air vehicles
(MAV s)
- turboprops for unmanned vehicles (heavy fuel engines) and micro turbine
engines
- small turbofans
Under US Government (DARPA, Army, Navy and Air Force) Funding, we have
internally developed a 94 horsepower twin spool turboprop for UAV propulsion called the
TPR80. The engine design can be produced in recuperated and non recuperated
form. We are currently developing a micro turbine engine under DARPA funding
that will propel micro air vehicles ( mav s). This engine can be configured
as a variety of turbomachines including microturbojet, turboprop and turboshaft.

your engine design program needs.
Gas turbine engine components and systems including -
- centrifugal and axial compressors
- combustors and burners
- radial inflow and axial turbines
- gearboxes and reduction drives and associated shaft dynamics analysis
- accessories including afterburners, thrust reversers and pumps
Through our participation in government and commercially funded development
programs, we have developed expertise in structural design and aerodynamic
design of centrifugal compressors, axial fans and compressors, annular and
can-type combustors and burners, radial inflow turbines and axial turbines,
turbine castings, impeller castings, high speed gearboxes and fluid pumps. We
have also developed a specialization in microturbines, microcompressors and
tiny burners. Our capable engineers are experienced in aerodynamics, foil
bearings, shaft dynamics, stress analysis, and cycle thermodynamics. We are
conducting research in the fields of ultra high speed
turbine, alternator and electric motor development achieving speeds in excess of 500,000
rpm. Our goal is to reach a million rpm in a microturbine, motor or alternator
Other turbomachines and systems including -
- small turbopumps for rockets and missiles
- gas turbine exhaust noise suppressors and mufflers for aircraft and APUs.
- tiny centrifugal compressors, microcompressors and tiny blowers
- micro refrigerators and coolers
- exhaust eductors and ejectors
- stainless steel manifolds
We have produced and successfully tested a tiny jet-fuel turbopump for the Navy capable
of achieving 1300 psi output pressure at roughly 100,000 rpm. We have designed
and fabricated a noise suppressing exhaust system for an APU that reduced back
pressure yielding a remarkable increase in power.
