It makes aircraft landing and braking components for the commercial (about 60% of sales), military (20%), and general aviation industry (20%). Its Aircraft Braking Systems subsidiary makes wheels, carbon- and steel-based brakes, and brake control systems. The Engineered Fabrics subsidiary produces bladder fuel tanks and crash-resistant polyurethane fuel tanks for aircraft. K & F claims to be the world's largest aircraft fuel tank maker, with about 80% of the world's general and commercial market and more than half of the US military market.
