Composite Technology
Lightness and exceptional strength are primary characteristics of full composite airframes. With smooth, rivetless surfaces, these carbon fiber structures permit superior aerodynamics. With significantly less exposure to corrosion or fatigue damage than metal, composite technology translates into low maintenance costs.
- Strato 2C
Over the years Grob Aerospace has established a proven track record of excellence in applied composite aircraft technology. For example, during the STRATO 2 C project the company developed and built one of the world’s largest single piece composite wings with a span of 185 ft (56.5 meters). This won the company recognition as a world leader in the field of design and production of composites.

The competitive advantages of composites include superior aerodynamics - owing to the material’s lightness and solidity - coupled with flexibility and high impact resistance. Even in case of damage to the airframe, onsite repairs are usually quick, easy and relatively cost effective, thus keeping down-times to a minimum.
