Aurora's two buildings at the North Central West Virginia Airport comprise more than
100,000 square feet of precision aerospace component production capability.
Building One is a 65,000 square foot facility used for fabrication and assembly
of composites and metal aerostructures. The building houses a machine shop, welding
shop, a heat treat furnace, paint booth, assembly areas, a 2,000 square foot clean
room and metal processing. The facility produces components for several aircraft
including the E2-C Hawkeye, EA-6B Prowler, CH-53K helicopter, MH-60R Seahawk helicopter,
and both the RQ-4A and RQ-4B versions of the Global Hawk.
The recently completed Building Two was designed as a showcase for lean aerospace
manufacturing techniques and technologies. The 40,000 square foot composites manufacturing
facility contains two 10,000 square foot class 100,000 clean rooms for composite
lay-up and assembly, two dual head Virtek laser ply location stations, a 24 foot
automated Gerber ply cutter, two autoclaves, a reconfigurable shop floor and conference
facilities.
