Hexcel is proud to be participating in Daher-Socata’s 100th Anniversary celebrations, having been their primary supplier for composite materials for over 25 years. Daher-Socata –previously Aeroplanes Morane-Saulnier - is acknowledged as one of the first specialists to produce aircraft structures using composites back in the 1970’s with milestone aircraft including the TMB 700.
The strong partnership developed over the years between Hexcel and Daher-Socata on aircraft and aerostructures programmes for Airbus and Dassault, amongst others, is a foundation on which future aircraft programmes will be based. Hexcel sends its warmest congratulations to Daher-Socata as they celebrate their centenary and is proud to have supported them in their achievement.
