Flying colours You're looking at the ultrasonic test result of a flawless Boeing 737 rudder. Any fault or weakness in its carbon fibre construction would have been revealed. Developed by Shorts, this non-destructive test process is typical of the many rigorous checks every component undergoes throughout production. We overlook nothing, from testing the quality of all our supplies, through to full regulatory compliances. Such uncompromising insistence on the very highest standards has made Shorts one of the world's foremost suppliers of major airframe and engine nacelle components - frequently incorporating weight saving advanced composite materials. Customers relying on our expertise include Fokker, Boeing, Rolls Royce, British Aerospace and Rohr. Since the Wright brothers placed that first order with the Short brothers, our experience has been founded on our complete aircraft capabilities - today's successful C-23 Sherpas, the Shorts Tucanos and hundreds of 330 and 360 commuter aircraft operating all over the world. Shorts innovation and experience have been rewarded with strong customer loyalty. Perfectionists? Yes. Because Shorts aerostructures must pass the toughest test of all - day to day performance. With flying colours of course. PIONEERS OF THE SKIES SHORT BROTHERS PLC PO Box 241, Airport Road, Belfast, BT3 9DZ
