The margin for error in the aerospace industry is zero. Materials for applications in the sky, stratosphere & space are required to perform without fault. Rubber materials are proven to withstand the demanding stresses & temperature variations needed for the environment the products find service in. DLR designs the rubber compound, parts & tooling, enabling the products to maintain their properties when subjected to the extremes of the operating temperature range. The rubber can be formulated on-site to meet your specific physical properties & colour requirements.

The PPS Aerostrip provides a simple and convenient replacement for traditional pressure tapping or pressure-sensitive paint. It is a low profile, rapidly deployable air pressure sensing strip for aerodynamic measurement and surface optimization for motorsport and aerospace applications. The AeroStrip consists of an extremely thin strip of sensors that can be applied, and reapplied, non-destructively to test surfaces for pressure measurement due to reusable masked adhesive backing. It has comparable accuracy to pressure tapping in subsonic flow, but with a tiny fraction of the setup time and cost. With Aerostrip, you can quickly take non-destructive outside pressure measurements from control surfaces, live or in a wind tunnel, enabling faster turnaround and optimization of aerodynamic components.

Access panels, hatches and open doors on parked aeroplanes can all be potential safety hazards for airline personnel unaware of the opening. In the past, flight attendants and servicing staff have suffered injuries and even death because of falls through these openings. Investigations have indicated that incidents of this nature are preventable by the proper and consistent use of barriers and by following strict airline policies and procedures. Our door barrier (safety) nets are designed to prevent people from falling through the open doorway. They provide efficient protection reducing risks to ALARP, essential to comply with the “Work at height regulations 2005”. A similar design can be adapted to fit any aircraft platform, if you have a requirement, please contact us to arrange a visit to site.
