Collins Aerospace developed and certified the Sukhoi Superjet 100 doors in 2010.

Collins Aerospace is applying decades of experience as a leader in composite aerostructures and nacelles to design and produce passenger and cargo doors for the next generation of transport aircraft. Our innovative approach utilizing both advanced thermoset and thermoplastic materials reduces part count and assembly complexity, resulting in better cost and weight savings compared to the current in-service thermoset composite doors.

Our resin pressurized molding technique enables the design and production of so-called "one-shot" composite aircraft doors that dramatically reduces the number of detailed parts and fasteners used to assemble them.

Our door design experts are hard at work to ensure our doors are simpler, cheaper and easier to operate than current aircraft doors.

Collins Aerospace has the ability to offer customers a one-stop procurement destination for composite aircraft doors. We bring together four historic businesses to produce and integrate six unique aspects of aircraft doors into one superior customer experience. By designing and integrating each of the door subsystems, Collins can deliver significant cost and weight savings that will pay out over the life of the aircraft.
