Capabilities > Overview

Nexcelle’s parent companies – Aircelle and Middle River Aircraft Systems – have extensive design, production and support capabilities in all aspects of engine nacelles: from pylons, mounts, fan cowls, nozzles and thrust reversers to acoustic treatment, thermal protection and anti-icing.

Aircelle is the world’s only nacelle manufacturer that is present in all market segments, from business and regional aircraft to the largest airliners.  A member of the Safran group, it employs approximately 3,000 persons at seven sites in France, the United Kingdom and Morocco.

The company has unmatched expertise in integrating nacelles and their components, including the world’s first Electrical Thrust Reverser Actuation System (proven in service on the Airbus A380), and advanced acoustic treatment (applied to nacelles for the A380 and Sukhoi’s Superjet 100).

Middle River Aircraft Systems is one of the top suppliers of jet engine thrust reversers and nacelle systems. The company also produces a variety of specialized structures for major aircraft manufacturers – including Boeing and Lockheed Martin – for commercial and military aircraft.

Middle River employs a workforce of 1,000 employees at its Baltimore, Maryland site. In addition to design and manufacturing, Middle River Aircraft Systems provides technical support and spares services for a variety of aerostructures.
