New
system that reduces Noise and Heat in all Aircraft is Outgrowth of Aerospace
Technology
Aircraft
owners, operators and passengers have long believed that uncomfortable
and even hazardous noise and heat levels are an integral part of flying
anything but a commercial jet. However, thanks to a revolutionary new
technology system that increases aviation safety and decreases sound,
that is no longer the case.
The Flight
Environments System is a totally new acoustical and thermal insulation
which reduces cabin noise by as much as 50 percent, while providing increased
protection from excess heat and fire, according to a company spokesman.
The Flight
Environments System fits every type of general aviation aircraft, from
antique machines to the most modern of private jets. Each installation
is tailored to meet a plan's individual configuration.
The
spokesman said
"if you are interested in having pilot and passengers hear at conversational
tones without headsets, if you want your small plane to be as quiet as
an airliner, and you want to enjoy the reduced stress that comes from
a noticeably quieter flight, this system is for you."
Using patented
materials and applications, the interior of the plane is "wrapped" in
materials which dampen sound and reduce heat.
The engineers
who developed the Flight Environments concept are aerospace and fire-protection
specialists employed in the U.S. aerospace program. Their experience in
that field makes this system available to the general aviation industry
for the first time.
There are
three components to the system: the Cabin Insulation Blanket covers the
entire cabin interior, reducing both sound and heat; the Thermal Blanket
completely covers the aircraft's interior frame and floor to provide superior
thermal insulation and to minimize vibration; and the acoustic Firewall Blanket,
a firewall both certified by the FAA and standard equipment on the new
Mooney Encore, protects pilot and passengers from fire and excess engine
heat and reduces engine-produced noise.
Each of
the three components of the system can be purchased individually or as
a complete package, depending on the operator's needs.
The entire
system is so lightweight that there is virtually no effect on the aircraft's
range. The weight of the system, which varies depending on aircraft size,
is minimal and there is no impact on the plan's center of gravity.
The Flight
Environments system meets both FAA parts 23 and 25 ATP Category standards
for fire resistance and toxicity.
