How Helicoid is evolving Technology.
Patented bio-inspired composite design improving strength, durability & efficiency.
Aerospace
Stronger wings. Smarter layups. Lighter aircraft.
Helicoid™ technology transforms aerospace composites with improved dent resistance, compressive strength, and structural efficiency. Our patented layup method enables high-rate manufacturing, better fuel economy, and longer component life by addressing challenges like buckling, bird strikes, and impact fatigue. Compatible with AFP machines and qualified materials, Helicoid™ is ideal for retrofits, VTOL structures, and next-gen aircraft platforms.
