Composite Rotorblades

[Mgundwane]

Hi to all the rotorblade specialists out there.

I am looking for qualified MANUFACTURERS of composite helicopter rotorblades. The blades will have to be certified to FAR/JAR27. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Also, remember that there is a big difference between design, manufacturing, and certification. Obviously the first place to look for rotor blades is with the aircraft's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), as well as Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for other rotor blades with your countrie's airworthiness regulator (FAA, JAA, etc..)
