Aviation
In aviation, every gram, every component, and every process counts. The requirements are demanding: low weight, high durability, absolute precision, and complete documentation. We support the aviation industry in mastering this balancing act: safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
With our forming technologies, we manufacture high-strength components from aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel – efficiently, consistently, and precisely tailored to requirements. From structural connections to drive components: our solutions take flight with you.
Challenges in aviation
– Felss solutions
Lightweight design in aviation is not a goal but a necessity. At the same time, the requirements for component strength, consistency, and traceability are increasing, especially in safety-critical areas. The wide range of materials used, such as aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel, also presents unique challenges for manufacturing processes.

Felss solutions for the aviation industry
In aviation, precision and weight savings are critical. Felss forming solutions enable the production of components that are both lightweight and high-strength, exactly where it matters most. Our components are already in use in aircraft worldwide.
Drive systems – powerful and weight-optimized
Drive components in aviation are exposed to extreme mechanical loads while meeting strict weight requirements. We manufacture precision shafts for engines and auxiliary power units (APUs) that fulfill these demands.
Material efficiency
Our forming processes enable thin-walled geometries with high strength.
Process reliability
High dimensional accuracy and repeatability, even with demanding materials such as titanium.
Structural integrity
Seamless forming technologies for maximum fatigue resistance.
Structural elements – lightweight, strong, precise
In cabin construction and structural connections, strong yet lightweight solutions are essential. For example, we manufacture connecting struts for interior structures that efficiently meet structural requirements.
Weight savings
Components optimized for minimal mass—down to the gram.
Small batch capability
Even specific requirements and smaller production runs can be implemented cost-effectively.
Material versatility
Whether aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium, we manufacture precisely matched to the material and its application.
Your advantage with Felss
Our forming technologies combine maximum precision with material efficiency and process reliability, meeting the exact needs of the aviation industry. Whether for propulsion systems or structural applications, we deliver components that are lightweight, durable, and cost-effective, even when working with demanding materials and small batch sizes.
Technologies that drive progress
Our manufacturing solutions for aviation are based on proven forming technologies that we continuously refine to meet the requirements of safety-critical applications and complex materials.
Axial forming
Ideal for rotationally symmetric components with exact length geometry:
- Shafts for drive units: High precision with minimal wall thickness.
- Connecting struts: Stable and lightweight, manufactured with minimal material usage.
Rotary swaging
A process that combines uniform material distribution with high strength, especially for hollow components:
- Hollow shafts made of titanium or stainless steel: Stable and precise, even under heavy loads.
Rolling
With our HMP rolling technology, profiles and surfaces can be produced on solid and semi-solid components that reliably meet these demanding requirements.
- External profiles and gearings for structural and drive components.
- High-precision profiles for safety-critical parts.
Combination of processes
Depending on component requirements, we combine multiple forming technologies to achieve optimal results for complex geometries and demanding materials.
