The CONFOR™ foam family (formerly Temperfoam™) by Aearo Technologies LLC (E-A-R), are open cell elastomeric, ergonomic, urethane foams forming part of their specialty foams for comfortable seating, crash protection and noise and vibration control.

CONFOR™ foams offer enduring seating comfort, and absorb a much higher amount of impact shock compared to common polyfoam. They can be used for long period seating applications in aviation, automotive, recreational, office, in medical hospital bedding, sports equipment, wheelchair cushions, industrial operations, or as protective packaging for high value devices.

Standard CONFOR™ product line has been replaced by CONFOR™ M & AC RoHS compliant foams with the same slow recovery attributes as the replaced ones. They come in different sheet sizes (the most popular 16" x 18", 18" x 20", 18" x 24"),and densities, corresponding to different foam weights per cubic foot and denoted by a respective color code (Yellow/Very Soft (CF40 M/AC), Pink/Soft (CF42 M/AC), Blue Medium ((CF45 M/AC), and Green Firm (CF47 M/AC).

CONFOR™ M slow-recovery foams, offer a unique combination of physical characteristics, high energy absorption properties and temperature-softening behavior. They provide impact protection and isolation for dynamic loads, while maintaining consistent static load performance. Their unique combination of slow recovery and high energy absorption allows these materials to offer effective damping and vibration isolation. In addition, as open-celled foams, they are breathable, non-irritating in dermal contact, and thus suitable for highly diverse applications, for medical and body contact cushioning applications to electronics packaging. The respective CONFOR™ AC foams have been engineered for the aircraft market. They are flame resistant and comply with FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F Part I (a)(1)(ii)(12 sec) burn specification requirements, consisting an excellent choice for use on aircraft. CONFOR™ CF42AC & CF45AC foams  are softer and provide more comfort. CONFOR™ green firm density foam CF47AC provides the best energy absorption protection. 

CONFOR™ AC foams are offered in different thicknesses, as solid pieces (e.g. in 1" thickness) or various pre-built  laminates resulting in higher thicknesses. DYNAFOAM is also often used as comfort foam on top of CF-47AC foams. Indicative offered laminations include:

- 1" thickness CF47AC sheet and 0.5" thickness DYNAFOAM sheet. Total laminate size - 16" x 18" x 1.5". Ideal balance for most pilots.

Aircraft braking systems serve a vital function during takeoff, landing and taxiing. Along with landing gear, aircraft wheels and brakes are critical to ensure safe and reliable aircraft ground operations under extreme forces, stress, as well as wear and tear from general operation and the environment. Commercial aircraft brakes are arranged in multiple disk pairs commonly referred to as Heat Sinks or Heat Packs (as they convert the kinetic energy of the moving airplane to heat energy). Initially made metal (steel) heat sinks are gradually replaced by those from carbon fibres (particularly on larger, long-haul commercial airplanes) due to their higher efficiency in braking applications, longer life-span, lower weight and resulting less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission by the engines. 

Carbon and steel heat packs and parts are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality suppliers these heat packs  feature high quality, safety, improved design, significant cost savings and fast deliveries. They can be used as  cost effective alternatives in many commercial aircraft platforms equalling or exceeding standards of  respective OEM products by leading manufacturers such as Honeywell Aerospace, Collins Aerospace/Goodrich Wheels & Brakes, Parker Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems and Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Bugatti-Dowty). They are  PMA approved (*) parts by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for use on an extensive list of Western and Eastern commercial (civil ) aircraft platforms including Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, Ilyushin and others and are currently installed in aircraft operating by different air transport operators in China and other countries in the Middle-East, South and Central Asia and Africa.

Typical Aircraft Applications for steel and carbon heat packs include Boeing 737 / 757, Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A330 , McDonnell Douglas: MD82 /MD90  Xian MA60 etc. 

(*)  Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) is a combined design and production approval granted by a competent Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to a manufacturer of aircraft parts for modification and replacement. Use of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approved parts in other countries depends on existing bilateral agreements between CAAC and respective competent authorities in these countries.

ARKWIN INDUSTRIES has been designing and manufacturing engine actuators for over 60 years for operation with fuel, engine oil and hydraulic oil pressurization. Their actuators are used on numerous civil, military, and industrial applications to provide actuation force to direct engine control components. They differ from conventional hydraulic actuators, a major difference being the incorporation of the fire resistance features necessary to meet engine safety requirements. Engine actuators are frequently exposed to elevated temperature during normal operation. If extended periods of flame resistance are required, protective coatings can be applied to the actuator housings including the use of intumescence or ablative coatings. Where temperature permits, ARKWIN uses aluminum alloys. For higher operating  temperatures or pressure requirements exceeding the allowables of aluminum alloy, stainless PH steel alloys or titanium alloys can be provided. Two stage sealing is common for both static and dynamic seals. Specifically selected seal compounds allow zero external leakage, long durability life, high temperature resistance, while providing protection in fire. 

ARKWIN’s  engine actuators feature a high side load tolerance to ensure long piston life, high resistant wear plating, high reliability/low maintenance and fire resistance. Their key design characteristics include:

• Fuel and petroleum based operating fluids

• Operating pressures up to 4,000 psig

• Position feedback of the actuators is provided by integral or externally mounted LVDT’s.

• Multiple mounting options

• Servo valve applications (Control of actuators through external pressurization valving or through an integral electro hydraulic servo valve).

• Master/Slave configurations

ARKWIN’s  engine actuators are offered for different platforms including:

CFM International CFM56-2/-3, CFM56-5/-7

General Electric CF34-3, CF34-8C/E, CF6, F110, F404,  F414, LM2500, LM6000, TF34

ARKWIN EXCHANGE PROGRAM: ARKWIN’s commercial and industrial gas turbine engine actuator exchange program was developed for the CFM56-5/7, CF6-80C2, CF6-80E1, CF34-8C/E, LM2500, and LM6000 engines.  The program provides operators the reliability of OEM NEW products at competitive prices. Qualifying actuators are exchanged in a very short time for FACTORY NEW OEM production units complete with FACTORY NEW OEM and a three-year/6000 EOH warranty.

The Andair standard fuel selector valve range incorporates 1/4"(FS16), 3/8"(FS20) and the 1/2"(FS25) valves. These valves allow for multiple tank switching of one fuel line. 

Manufactured to the highest standards, all Andair fuel selector valves are designed for safety, provide a precise and smooth feel in operation and can be supplied with custom engraving. They feature  a large red lever with 'Fuel' engraved on it and a clearly labelled fascia plate to indicate which tank has been selected. It allows for a good solid detent at each tank position and also the button on top of the lever must be raised to switch the fuel off. All these features help prevent the pilot switching the wrong tank or turning the fuel off.

Andair duplex fuel selector valves have two separate compartments so that two independent fuel lines can be switched simultaneously making them ideal for fuel injected or diesel engines where there needs to be a return line. It allows to pipe surplus fuel to the same tank from which it was drawn. This avoids overfilling the return tank or having an overly complicated fuel system. 

FS2020(*) fuel selector valves feature two 3/8" sections for feed & return. FS2520(*) fuel selector valves feature one 1/2" feed section and one 3/8" return section. Both can be supplied with different ANDAIR fittings to meet application requirements.

Filler opening caps are parts basically circular in shape, designed to cover or seal the filler-neck or inlet opening of a fuel tank, radiator, oil reservoir, liquid storage tank or the like. They are either permanently attached or provided with a means of removal and replacement. 

Pressure refuel caps are used to lock, seal, and vent the pressure refuel port for an aircraft fuel tank. Pressure refueling allows for single point refueling on larger aircraft and can be used with all aircraft fuels. To fuel the aircraft, the caps are manually actuated by pressing down on the handle, which will vent and unlock the cap for removal by twisting. The cap remains attached to the aircraft by a lanyard. Once refueling is complete, the cap is inserted back onto the adapter and twisted until locked into place, which effectively reseals the pressure refuel port.

Pressure refuel caps are offered by different manufacturers such as Parker Aerospace, Eaton Coporation and others. They are designed in accordance with military specification MIL-C-8605B (for technical requirements) and MS29526-2(for envelope requirements).

Those from Parker Aerospace are 4.5 inches diameter, with an indexing feature and they fit into a 2.5-inch pressure refuel adapter per military specification MS24484. Their main features include an aluminum base and handle, a fluorosilicone O-ring seal, and antisparking brass chain lanyard (per industry standard RR-C-271) with a plastic tubing cover and corrosion resistant steel hooks.  Lanyards can also be fabricated with corrosion-resistant steel or flexible plastic and fuel resistant tubing. Optional features are also available such as key lock, ventilation, hinge, visual fluid level indicator, dust cover easy-lift handle and contoured adapter.
