Revolutionizing
Composites Manufacturing

We are Hybron (formerly BladeX Technologies), a composite manufacturing company that has developed a new method of economically producing complex, high-performance composite parts.

The First
Engine-Tested Composite Compressor Blades

We accomplished something that has never been done before with composites: we manufactured and tested our first composite compressor blades in a GE J79 fighter jet engine! This test included composite blades with the same geometry as the original metal blades (4), as well as composite blades with significant material removed from the bottom of the airfoil (16). We ran our blades at full operating condition and overspeed (7600 RPM). The tips of our blades reached Mach 0.9, and our parts showed no signs of structural issues from the tests, proving that our composite blades have incredible potential to improve airfoil profiles and efficiency while reducing weight and increasing stability.

Key Benefits
