HI-TECH FOAMS offers a variety of specialty foams for confortable seating, crash protection and noise and vibration control. 

Confor™ Foam is an open cell elastomeric, ergonomic, urethane foam (formerly Temperfoam™) has been recognized as the best seat cushion available for comfort and impact safety since its development for  the Apollo Space Program. It offers enduring seating comfort, absorbs a much higher amount of impact shock compared to common polyfoam and it is flame resistant. Ideal for the disabled in wheelchairs, persons who sit for long periods of time at the computer, sewing machine, car, airplane, race car, over the road semi, and recreational vehicles. In addition, the company supplies several products including inflatable lumbar supports for the construction of seats.  

In aviation applications Confor™ Foam's unique ability to absorb impact and vibration provides a safety factor for aircraft and helicopter seating. It meets FAR 25.853, FAR 25.855, and CAL 117 burn specifications making it excellent for certified aircraft or homebuilts. 

Confor™ Foam comes in three different densities; soft, medium, and firm.  Each individual application will dictate which density or combination of densities to use. The best universal cushion for aircraft use is a 3" CF42/CF45/CF47 laminate. 

Confor™ Foam  is usually sold in standard seat sizes (16X18) or increments of 16X18 (see example).  Sheet sizes are 36X80. Available dimensions 1" X 16" X 18", 2" X 16" X 18" and 3" X 16" X 18". Some special sizes in 1", 2", or 3" thicknesses are also available on special request.

HI-TECH FOAMS also offers Aircraft Damping Composites (ADC), aircraft skin and trim panel noise and vibration damping composites engineered to provide maximum performance with minimum weight.

HI-TECH FOAMS products meet the FAR burn specifications but they do not come standard with certificate of compliance for flammability. However, this may be requested  at the time of ordering for an additional fee.

DYNON AVIONICS AOA/Pitot probes perform two functions: airspeed and angle of attack sensing. These functions require having two pressure ports on the tip of the probe. The normal pitot pressure port is on the front face of the probe and is designed to be insensitive to angle of attack. The second pressure port is located on an angled surface just under the pitot port and is designed to be very sensitive to AOA. They are under-wing mount, L-shaped  probes which can be installed  easily with simple plug-n-play integration with Dynon and Advanced Products.Their installation requires a mounting bracket sold separately. The pressure from each port is delivered via separate air lines to the instrument where they are compared to previously calibrated scenarios specific to the aircraft. Competitively priced, they are offered in Non-Heated and Heated versions. The Heated AOA Pitot includes a nichrome heating element that is regulated by a separate pitot heater controller unit supplied with the pitot. The controller actively monitors a temperature sensor embedded within the pitot head and regulates the power to maintain a constant temperature. This not only conserves energy but additionally prolongs the life of the heater. The controller also outputs a signal that can be wired to a warning light in the cockpit to warn the pilot anytime there is a malfunction or that the pitot is turned off.

Pitot tubes scan the static and dynamic pressure, and they are used on aircraft to determine the aircraft airspeed. FALCON Non TSO'd (non-certified) pitot tubes have been used for many years on different types of experimental or other aircraft where no certification is required. Available in different heated and unheated versions for 12 or 24 V electical supplies, for vertical or flat installations. Standard (3/4") and long (4") mounting brackets are offered. Heated Material: Stainless Steel. Please consult the supplied documentation or contact us for further information.

The G3 Series Stick Grips by RAY ALLEN COMPANY (RAC) includes four different models: G301, G303, G305 and G307. All feature four individual SPDT momentary contact switches to control one or two axis electric trim. The switches are triggered via a traditonal 4-way "hat" type activator. These switches are high quality with 15 amp Honeywell microswitches for their superior tactile characteristics. The slotted one or two axis faceplates also adds to the very positive switching action. The four trim switches can be wired directly to Ray Allen servos, eliminating the need to wire relays in the trim system when one grip is used. However, if two grips are used, either relays or a switch to transfer the control of trims from one grip to the other will be needed. The hand grip itself is made out of a very strong BASF composite that has excellent UV resistance. The entire grip has a textured finish. The G3 grips are 6.5” (165 mm) tall. All G3 grips feature a momentary contact, SPDT Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch located on the front side of the grip. A black faceplate is included with each grip. Gray and tan faceplates are also available. All Ray Allen  Stick Grips are designed to fit any stick size up to 1 1/8” in diameter with the use of spacers. Three spacers will be included with each grip enabling easy installation on 3/4”, 7/8” and 1” sticks. The stick grips include pre-cut and stripped 26 gage teflon insulated 19 strand wire. A die-cut label sheet with 50 different labels is supplied with all G3 grips. The labels are lexan coated for long service life and fit in their own recesses for a professional appearance.

All G3 Series Stick Grips feature:

- four individual SPDT momentary contact switches to control one or two axis electric trim. The switches are triggered via a traditonal 4-way "hat" type activator. The four trim switches can be wired directly to Ray Allen servos.

Static ports are located on the side of an aircraft and function as small air inlets. Their purpose is to measure static air pressure, also known as barometric pressure. The pressure within the static port is collected and then utilized by the altimeter and the vertical speed indicator (VSI). Different static ports are offered, both certified and non certified (the latter with an intended use in homebuilt/experimental aircraft).

Several offered non certified static ports are briefly described below. For certified static ports plese refer to their separate product presentations.
