CNC Machined Landing Gear Components for Aerospace Teams
Landing gear teams in St. Louis need parts that are strong, precise, and traceable. We machine 4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V landing gear components with tight bore tolerances. CMM inspection and AS9100D-aligned documentation on every order.
High-Strength Alloys
4340 steel, 300M, and titanium 6Al-4V with mill certs and traceability.
Bore Precision
±0.0005" on critical pin bores and sealing surfaces. CMM verified.
AS9100D Docs
Inspection reports and traceability for landing gear program records.
Fighter Jets and Military Aviation Heritage
St. Louis is Boeing's military aircraft headquarters — the F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, and T-7A Red Hawk trainer are all designed and assembled here. The MQ-25 Stingray autonomous refueling drone also originates from Boeing's St. Louis campus, driving massive demand for flight-critical aerostructures, avionics housings, and weapons system components.
RivCut supports St. Louis aerospace teams with AS9100-grade machining, instant quoting, and fixed lead times — fighter aircraft components that clear Boeing Defense receiving on the first pass.

Safety critical6 Fittings. 10 Days. Zero Concessions.
A St. Louis-area landing gear team needed trunnion fittings from 300M steel with tight bore concentricity, cadmium plating prep, and full dimensional verification. Teams near companies like Boeing Defense, Space & Security trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every part shipped with complete documentation:
- CMM dimensional report — bore concentricity and true position verified
- Material cert with heat lot and AMS 6417 compliance
- First Article Inspection per AS9102
- Pre-plate surface preparation verification
What St. Louis Aerospace Buyers Should Know
Ensure your supplier can process Boeing Defense quality clauses including AS9102 FAIR and D6-54551 requirements
St. Louis fighter programs carry strict documentation standards.
Ask about five-axis machining for complex fighter aerostructures
F-15, F/A-18, and T-7A parts frequently require multi-axis contouring on titanium and aluminum.
Verify ITAR registration and controlled information handling
virtually all Boeing Defense St. Louis programs carry export control requirements.
