Aerospace

We have a long-established reputation working in collaboration with defence contractors in the aerospace industry to design and supply high-specification fabrics and pre-fabricated textile components for complex applications in military aircraft and helicopters.

Our range includes Ejector Seat Covers, Parachute Release Bags, Troop Seating, Screens, Partitions, Breather Mask Reinforcements, Fuel Cell Reinforcements, Anti-G Trousers and Suits, Survival Inflatables, Flight Suits, Aircraft Flotation Bags.

We produce hi-spec fire-resistant and flame-proof fabrics for in-flight equipment such as stowage bags and document bags. We also supply fabrics for structural applications – ventilation and ducting reinforcements, flexible seals, blinds, thermal insulation layers, seating reinforcements, boarding gangways and connectors.

We produce fabrics specified for use in high performance, high integrity, lightweight buoyancy devices and survival equipment.

These include emergency flotation systems for helicopters, crashworthy and self-sealing portable fuel containers for the transfer of fuel, oil and other liquids, external life rafts, pillow tanks, respirator mask filters and reinforcements, protective suits, inflatable and temporary structures such as aircraft shelters, engine covers and ground servicing covers.

Textile reinforced composite structures are increasingly specified in the aviation industry for their high strength to weight ratios in comparison to other materials, allowing for weight reduction, improved fuel economy and reduced operating costs.

Our fabrics are used for integral reinforcement matrices for a wide range of high specification components as well as textiles used in the restoration and repair of both modern and vintage fabric clad light aircraft.

Our specialist fabrics are designed to provide a light, airproof skin for lifting and control surfaces, offering reduced drag with a sleek profile. The tensile strength of the fabrics provides a durable outer skin which not only serves to protect the aircraft from the elements but also helps to provide structural strength to otherwise weaker surfaces.

Arville Dymetrol® suspension fabrics are designed to replace conventional seating materials such as springs, foams, and wires which are heavier and more bulky. Modern seating systems which use Arville Dymetrol deliver weight reduction, improved comfort, simpler construction, lower costs and significant space savings.
