Production
We produce metallic parts and assemblies, using wide range of different technologies.
Landing Gear Systems / Hydraulic Solutions
Blaník designs and produces landing gear systems and components for small aircraft segment - up to MTOW 3,500 kg. We provide wide range of related services, starting from initial consultations, through drawings & prototyping, to serial production.
We are capable of designing, building and testing of complete landing gear system including hydraulic actuators and furhermore hydraulic equipment (accumulators, brake master cylinders).
Structure
Full cycle of custom made prototype production incl. drawing creation or correction, manufacturing, subsequent testing up to approved documentation delivery. Modification of existing systems and production of related installation kits.
Control systems
We produce parts and assemblies of the control systems – from rods, cables, cranks up to complex assemblies like engine control quadrant.
Back Lit Panels
Production of custom made text-transparent switch panels for avionics, using certified plastic material
Machining
We do have 5 axis CNC milling machine (block-shaped parts up to the size of 500 × 730 × 560 mm) and CNC turning machine (rotary parts up to a diameter of 200 mm and a length of 300 mm) as well.
Painting
We do have painting box for wet painting (box size: 4 × 4 × 11 m) and the heating box for the powder coating (Komaxit, box size: 1 × 1 × 2 m).
Water Jet Cutting
We do have the water jet cutting machine with the working area of 2000 × 4000 mm, where the sheets of the thickness up to 300 mm can be cut. Can be used for the metal sheets cutting, but also for plastic and composite materials.
Welding
We are capable to weld the aluminium, steel and anticorro parts using the TIG method under the protective atmosphere.
Bending
We do have the CNC bending machine, capable to bend on the length of 4000 mm. We produce the sheet metal holders, boxes and consoles, we can bend the tubes too.
Riveting
We do the manual riveting of the aircraft frames and other parts.
Assembling
We perform the final assembly of the manufactured parts from simple small assemblies up to complex control panels and systems, landing gear, hydraulic dampers, accumulators, cylinders and pistons.
3D Printing, Additive Technologies
Our advanced Additive Lab performs:
- Wire-based additive manufacturing (WAM) technology research & development
- Software development for WAM process
- Test and small‑batch production using WAM
Our goal is wide WAM implementation in general industries.
L-13 Blaník Glider
Two-seat, all-metal structure high wing sailplane designed for gliding and basic acrobatic training. Total number of manufactured L-13 is 2616 pieces operated in more than 40 countries worldwide. In 1981–1982 was also produced smaller serie of L-13A Blaník with re-inforced wings.
UrfinJuice
URFIN JUICE is an electrically powered ultralight aircraft (glider). Currently, it is a technology demonstrator manufactured in Blaník Aircraft CZ.
