WHY PRE-SHAPED

Pre-shaped core vs. manual forming

✓ CRS pre-shaped core

  • Ready to install — some of our clients save 6+ hours per core
  • No thermal moulding treatment required
  • Compliant with OEM CMM (mandatory in some cases)
  • Consistent geometry & fit = higher repair quality
  • Lower equipment use, scrap & total cost

✕ Manual core forming

  • ~6 hours per core — cutting, moulding, vacuum setup & oven cycle
  • ~4.5 hrs heat/cool cycle required
  • High labour input
  • Rework risk if OEM CMM is not strictly followed
  • Higher equipment usage & overall cost
Bottom line: pre-shaped cores deliver faster turnaround, reduced cost and improved compliance — and are mandatory in certain repairs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about OEM honeycomb core material for Airbus nose radomes.

What is OEM-qualified honeycomb core material?+

OEM-qualified honeycomb core material is a core specification released by the aircraft manufacturer and compliant with the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). CRS Aviation additionally supplies it pre-formed, so it can be installed directly in the nose radome repair without thermal moulding.

Which Airbus models does CRS Aviation cover?+

Cone and lateral zone cores as well as complete repair kits are currently available for the Airbus A320 family and the Airbus A350. Material for the Airbus A380 is in preparation, with first deliveries planned for Q1 2027.

What is the difference between pre-shaped and manually formed cores?+

Manual forming requires cutting, moulding, vacuum setup and an oven cycle of around 4.5 hours, roughly 6 hours per core in total, with rework risk. Pre-shaped cores are ready to install immediately, and some of our clients save more than 6 hours of labour per core.

Shipment is ex works Munich (Incoterms 2022, FCA) via courier services, cutting turnaround to days instead of several weeks.
