Los Angeles Chapter meeting on May 16
Please join us in Los Angeles on Friday, May 16, 2014, 7:30am – 9:30am PDT (breakfast and networking at 7:00am), for a tour of Triumph Aerostructures – Vought Aircraft Division – Hawthorne. The tour will consist of a 20-minute presentation, followed by a tour through all aspects of the main assembly plant’s operation, from receipt of parts, through preparation of Boeing 747 skins (coating and drilling), assembly and loading for shipment.
Triumph Aerostructures – Hawthorne has been a major innovator of both military and commercial airframe structures since the 1930s. This experience has enabled them to become a world-class supplier of skin panels. The Hawthorne plant has produced Boeing 747 fuselage panels since the aircraft program began in 1966. Since that time, they have delivered more than 1,400 fuselage ship sets, including those for Air Force One.
