Fuel contamination puts your engine, your platform, and your mission at risk. FCP manufactures precision metal mesh aerospace fuel filters for engineers and procurement teams who need reliable fuel filtration on demanding military platforms. Trusted by Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Raytheon Technologies, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Legacy fiberglass and cellulosic aircraft fuel filters rely on adhesives that degrade under pressure, vibration, and temperature cycling. When the media breaks down, it sheds particles directly into the fuel stream, contaminating the system it is supposed to protect.
For mission-critical aircraft fuel system filters, that is not acceptable.
FCP’s aircraft fuel system filters support a wide range of military aircraft and defense applications:
FCP’s metal mesh construction does not shed particles, does not degrade, and holds up throughout the element’s full operating life. Here is what that means for your program.
Cleaner fuel protects engine components, fuel control units, and flow dividers, supporting engine reliability and mission readiness.
Less frequent servicing keeps your maintenance team focused on keeping the platform ready, not changing filters.
Metal mesh filters are designed to be cleaned and returned to service, reducing replacement part demand and logistics burden for forward-deployed platforms.
FCP has manufactured precision filtration products since 1943. More than 80 years of engineering experience in aerospace and defense filtration backs every product we build.
Customers include:
Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Raytheon Technologies, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Certifications and credentials:
AS9100 Rev. D Certified. NADCAP Approved Supplier. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
When your program requires something beyond a catalog item, FCP’s engineering team builds filter elements and housings to your exact specifications.
Available housing configurations:
Inline, T-type, Y-type, L-type, flange-type, and stack-type.

These are the questions our engineering team hears most often from engineers and procurement specialists evaluating fuel filtration for military aircraft and defense programs.
It removes particulate contamination from the fuel stream before it reaches engine components. In military aircraft, contamination causes wear and failures that directly impact mission readiness.
Fiberglass media degrades under vibration and temperature cycling and sheds particles into the fuel stream. Metal mesh holds its structure, does not shed particles, and maintains filtration performance across the life of the element.
FCP supports fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and defense platforms including the F-16, C-130, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook. Custom solutions are available for other programs.
Yes. FCP engineers filter elements and housings to your exact dimensional, material, and performance requirements. We support early-stage design through production quantities.
