Fuel, air and hydraulics
Valves, manifolds and tube to hose elbows carry and control the fluid that lowers the landing gear, works the brakes and moves the flaps. Bellows let a sealed line flex, while vanes and nozzles guide the flow.

From blueprint to finished part
Each step is held to the print, from the first cut to the final measurement.
Precision machining
Parts are machined with adherence to blueprint specifications without deviation. It is how Ripa earned a reputation of efficient production and uncompromising quality.
Machining
Assemblies
Valve, tilt cylinder, mount and bellow assemblies are among the parts Ripa has made. Each one is built to its print and delivered complete.
Assemblies
Critical welding
Ripa welds to MIL STD 2219, the critical welding standard, for the F100 engine pin assembly. It sits in the compliance record beside ISO 9001:2015.
Welding
Inspection
Trained staff measure with a FARO CMM arm during and after production. The goal is accuracy and production repeatability on every run.

Where the partsgo to work
Ripa has made parts for the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army and the Defense Logistics Agency. Here is the job parts like these do on the aircraft and vehicles they serve.
Engines
Inside a jet engine, compressor disks spin at high speed and carry the blades that squeeze the incoming air before it burns. Parts that run this hot and this fast have to match the print exactly.
Critical welding for the F100 engine pin assembly, to MIL STD 2219.
Flight controls
Bell cranks, flap drive shafts, actuating pistons and cylinders turn a pilot’s command into motion, moving the flaps and control surfaces to the angle called for.
Drive and structure
Gear shafts carry power through a drivetrain, while fittings, mounts, supports, flanges and caps hold each component where the drawing puts it, on aircraft and ground vehicles alike.
Stringent quality controlon every part
Stringent quality control is an integral part of the Ripa Engineering philosophy.
