Inflatable Shelters Concept

inflatable, Aircraft Maintenance

All of our patented shelters work, using the same principal:
A fan (which operates continuously while the shelter is inflated) blows air through a series of interconnected fabric tubes, thereby causing them to inflate.
The tubes, which are pressurised to a level slightly higher than ambient pressure, form the framework of the shelter.
This fabric framework is engineered to envelop a portion of the Nacelle or wing profile.
This unique design effectively docks the shelter to the aircraft - making it extremely stable even in very windy conditions.
All Shelters are designed to be easily transportable for aircraft recovery and they can be inflated by two operatives in less than five minutes.
A series of fan types are available, depending on the applications envisaged - from an inexpensive 110V/220V blower for ramp-based work to a 110V 400Hz unit for aircraft recovery operations.
Air conditioning cart inlets are incorporated into the shelter for more demanding climates - these ports may be zippered shut when not in use.
The huge benefit of the inflatable shelter concept is that it is air-supported - meaning that it cannot damage either the aircraft or the personnel using it, and it is designed to be a hand-in-glove fit for every aircraft in your fleet.

Specialised Fabrics

The fabrics used in our shelters were specially designed by us in order to cope with the often very harsh aviation environment.

Our materials exhibit an extremely high strength to weight ratio and are designed to resist Skydrol, oils, and fuels.

Furthermore, they remain usable in both very high and very low temperatures and in the event of getting a tear on-site, they can be easily and quickly repaired.
