Aviation Laser Services · America's only dedicated aviation laser cleaning company

The FP-300 FeatherPulse Laser

300W Class 4 fiber laser for non-destructive paint removal, corrosion cleaning, and surface preparation. FAA-compliant. With 7 active commercial deployments across the United States.

Assembled in the USA with precision components from Germany, Taiwan, China, and America.

The FP-300 family — with the SPARCL arm that automates it.

See it for yourself

Same laser. Both jobs.

Watch the FP-300 lift ink off a sheet of paper without scorching it — then watch the same machine strip corrosion off an aircraft control surface. Two extremes. One dial.

Ink off paper

The laser removes the ink. The paper stays clean. This is why we call it true ablation — energy absorbed by the contaminant, not the substrate.

Corrosion off an aircraft control surface

Same machine, dialed up. Stripping corrosion from aluminum skin. Sparks fly — the substrate stays below 120 °C.

Why laser cleaning

The shop you have today vs. the shop you could have

Chemical stripping and media blasting were the only options for 70 years. They aren't anymore. Here's what changes the day a laser rolls onto your floor.

Impact on

The aircraft

Old way · Chemical & Media

Substrate thinning. Alclad damage. Grit impingement on landing gear. Chemical residue trapped in lap joints — the kind of finding inspectors flag years after the strip.

New way · FP-300 Laser

0% substrate damage — independently verified by Textron Aviation cross-sectional microscopy. Bare aluminum reflects the beam, so the substrate is its own backstop.

Impact on

The technician

Old way · Chemical & Media

Hexavalent chromium. Methylene chloride. Respiratory and dermal exposure. Full chemical PPE every shift. OSHA paperwork after every spill or splash.

New way · FP-300 Laser

No chemicals. No grit. Sealed Class IV interlocked work zone with dry dust collection. Operator clocks in clean and clocks out clean.

Impact on

The planet

Old way · Chemical & Media

Chromate sludge. VOC emissions. RCRA-regulated hazardous waste. EPA disposal manifests. Permitted air handlers. Quarterly waste-stream audits.

New way · FP-300 Laser

Dry collected dust — no hazardous-waste stream. No VOC permits. No chromate sludge to ship. The shop walks past most of the EPA paperwork entirely.

Impact on

The shop

Old way · Chemical & Media

Hours per panel: mask, bath, neutralize, rinse, dry, re-mask, inspect for residue, re-strip the spots that didn't take. Then sand for primer adhesion.

New way · FP-300 Laser

Minutes per panel: walk up, ablate, vacuum the dust, hand off for primer. The surface is already micro-keyed for adhesion — no separate sanding step.

Zero Damage to Aircraft Aluminum. Textron Proved It.

“We did not observe any damage of the alclad layer on the thin aluminum that had been ablated with the laser.”

Tyler Smith, Materials & Processing Engineer, Textron Aviation

The FP-300 removes paint, corrosion, and coatings from aircraft surfaces using precision laser ablation. Bare aluminum reflects the laser's energy — so the moment the coating is gone, the substrate is protected. No chemicals. No sanding. No damage.

Why the FP-300

FAA Compliant

Meets AC 43.13-1B standards for aircraft maintenance. Non-destructive results verified by certified A&P mechanics and inspectors.

Non-Destructive

Laser ablation preserves base material — no grit damage, no chemical residue, no substrate thinning. Safe for flight-critical components.

Precision Results

Micron-level control over ablation depth. Consistent, repeatable surface profiles documented with before/after evidence.
