Aerospace Markets

Experts in the machining of gas turbine blades from both forging and solid billet.  Machining compressor blades since 1947, JJC uses technology to drive prototype development and supplies individual spares demand through to kitted production volumes on a wide variety of programmes.

Examples include: developmental blades for the Airbus A350 Trent engine and JSF through to Industrial RB211 production volumes and legacy demand for the Tornado RB199.

With a pedigree starting in the 1930’s with Walter Churchill’s work with Sir Frank Whittle on the first gas turbines, today JJ Churchill is actively engaged in the most technologically demanding projects with advanced process control to deliver responsive lead-times – often working closely with designers to achieve their intent.  JJ Churchill has succeeded in this market by adopting the ‘best-in-class’ multi-axis milling, grinding and metrology equipment in combination with a highly-skilled and motivated workforce – many of whom will have come through our own apprenticeship scheme.

SC21 provides the framework for continuous improvement, capturing the experience gained on development projects as they become the ‘best-practice’ starting-point for production.
