PROTOTYPES, COMPONENTS AND SPARE PARTS FOR HELICOPTERS
Helicopters are complex aircraft used in various military and civilian missions. The construction of helicopters requires materials that are both lightweight and robust to ensure manoeuvrability and safety. Aluminium alloys play a crucial role in the production of components for helicopters: they offer an optimal balance between strength and weight.
We provide you with high-precision milled parts for helicopters in accordance with the EN 9100:2018 standard. With our special experience in lightweight construction, we are able to mill high-quality parts from aluminium, steel, titanium, Invar as well as GRP and CFRP for aviation.
As a generalist CNC service provider, we provide you with all services from a single source. Depending on your requirements, we also take on individual upstream or downstream work steps, such as surface finishing, in addition to machining. We even consistently "think along" with the process steps outside our company. Because we want to support you as effectively as possible in the realisation of your project.
Our wide-ranging expertise and modern machinery make us the ideal partner for all cases. Convince yourself of the expertise and commitment of our employees.

Precision milled parts for helicopter manufacturers and helicopter MRO
Helicopter structural components
Helicopter components for the structure and fuselage must be manufactured with precision in order to fulfil the high requirements for strength and stability. Aluminium alloys are particularly suitable as they offer an excellent balance between weight and robustness. Milling can produce the complex geometries and shapes required for a helicopter's structure and fuselage to maximise structural integrity and aerodynamic efficiency.
Helicopter engine parts
Engine components must be exceptionally precise and durable to withstand the extreme conditions within the engine. Steel and aluminium alloys are often the material of choice as they remain stable at high temperatures and support the performance of the engine. Laro NC-Technik is your contract manufacturer for the milling of all non-turned parts in the engine area.
Helicopter rotor blades
The manufacture of rotor blades requires high-precision milled parts to ensure the necessary balance and performance. Aluminium alloys are often used for rotor blades because they are light and robust at the same time. Laro NC-Technik manufactures milled parts up to 6 metres in length from a single piece, as well as high-strength tools for the production of rotor blades made from CFRP carbon fibre composites. These tools must be extremely precise and durable in order to guarantee consistent quality in the production of the rotor blades.
Helicopter spare parts
Spare parts - especially if they are missing - are the Achilles' heel of any aviation organisation. Helicopter spare parts must be milled to the exact specifications of the original part to ensure seamless integration and function. Aluminium alloys are particularly suitable here, as they offer high strength and low weight. Laro NC-Technik regularly undergoes strict EN 9100 certification to ensure that your spare parts always fulfil the high standards of the aviation industry.
HELICOPTERS & ALUMINIUM
Why are gyroplanes made of aluminium?
Aluminium alloys are widely used in helicopter construction, but also in aircraft design, drone manufacturing and the aerospace industry due to their outstanding properties. They offer an ideal combination of low density and high strength, which reduces the overall weight of the aircraft and therefore increases energy efficiency and flight range. Aluminium alloys are also extremely resistant to corrosion, which extends the service life of aircraft components and reduces maintenance costs. The various aluminium alloys, examples of which are listed in the following table, enable very specific material properties. Depending on their composition, the alloys exhibit specific hardness, toughness and resistance to extreme temperatures and mechanical stresses.
| Metal | Material Designation | Properties |
|---|---|---|
Titanium Alloys | Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6AL-4V ELI, 6AL-6V-2Sn-Ti | High strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, high cycle fatigue resistance - used in aerospace, maritime, chemical industry, biomedical |
Aluminium Alloys with Magnesium | EN AW 5754, EN AW 5083 | Medium to high strength, weldable - used in shipbuilding, transport, pressure vessels, bridges and buildings, as AA5024 (AlMgSc) also used in aviation |
Aluminium Alloys with Magnesium + Silicon | EN AW 6082, EN AW 6060, EN AW 6061 | Very good weldability and extrudability - mainly used as extruded profiles |
Aluminium Alloys with Zinc | EN AW 7010, EN AW 7019, EN AW 7020, EN AW 7040, EN AW 7050, EN AW 7074, EN AW 7075 | High to very high strength - used in aircraft construction, aerospace, sports equipment, mobile phone and watch housings |
Tool Steel | 1.1xxx, 1.2xxx, 1.3xxx | Mainly used for the production of active elements of tools, such as rollers, stamps, dies, reinforcement rings, bending swords |
Stainless Steel | 1.4xxx | Resistant to moisture, alkalis, acids, chloride, air pollutants - widely used in mechanical engineering, plant engineering, apparatus engineering, pumps, sanitary, heating, household, medicine, etc. |
Manganese Steel | 1.3401 | Also hard manganese steel or manganese hard steel - due to its high wear resistance used in applications with strong impact and shock loads |
(Ballistic) Safety Steel | HB477-540, HB530-590, HB580-640, HB630-700 | Explosion-proof, flexible, weldable, highest resistance to cyclic stress and fatigue - used for armor (armor steel) |
Duplex Steel | 1.4462 | High strength and yield strength, very corrosion and seawater resistant - used in the maritime and offshore industry, chemical industry, food industry, apparatus and container construction |

Expertise in CNC contract manufacturing of titanium and aluminium helicopter parts
One example of the use of aluminium alloys in helicopters is the production of rotor blades and frame components. These components must be extremely strong to withstand the high mechanical loads during flight, but at the same time light enough to maximise the efficiency of the helicopter.
Another example is the use of aluminium alloys in the manufacture of engine covers, housings, engine parts and fuselage structures such as stringers, frames and clips. These components contribute significantly to the performance and reliability of the helicopter by reducing overall weight and improving structural integrity. Laro NC-Technik is your specialist for the production of brackets, inserts, structural components, support components, lightweight brackets and many other highly complex milled parts.
