Supracor and BASF partner to reduce weight and increase comfort
Silicon Valley-based Supracor is partnering with BASF’s Aerospace Team to reduce the weight of aircraft seat cushions while enhancing their comfort. Supracor’s Stimulite® honeycomb, made from BASF’s Elastollan®
TPU
(thermoplastic polyurethane), combines the lightweight
cellular matrix of aerospace
honeycomb with the resilience of TPU. The combination produces light and durable
The R&D department of Rollon has reached a new milestone in the challenge to gravity by achieving a 30 percent decrease in weight for its telescopic rails. The rails feature in first and business class seats to adjust seats, footrests, armrests, sliding screens and tables. Seats are becoming increasingly complex in order to
ensure passenger comfort and safety. The research by Rollon’s engineering team has focused on the profile of telescopic rails and its thickness, thereby obtaining a reduction of the overall weight, without affecting their resistance and reliability. Rollon will present the new lightweight guides at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2013.
seat cushions with a low profile for increased living space in the cabin.
Perforations in the cell walls circulate air to eliminate the heat build-up associated with foam cushioning, while the footprint of the elastomeric cells and their flexing action promotes blood circulation.
