Aerodynamic Seals
Sealing Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
All applications in the aerospace industry require optimal sealing solutions that provide not only safety but efficiency. This is especially true for aerodynamic seals, which are used to eliminate gaps between the flight control surfaces and aircraft wings, doors, and the fuselage. If gaps are eliminated, there is less drag—this improves the aerodynamics of the aircraft through reducing the friction in the air. Less drag also means lower fuel consumption and lower noise emissions. North Coast Seal’s aerodynamic sealing solutions feature fabric reinforcement that increases the lifetime of the seal, as well as flexibility that allows for easy installation.
Flexible Aerospace Sealing Solutions
Control Airflow and Reduce Drag
The goal for aerodynamic seals is to find a material that offers superior strength and abrasion resistance. The combination of fabric reinforcement and elastomer material can achieve this for your application. We can fabricate your seals from silicone, fluorosilicone, fluorocarbon or other elastomers, and use fabric—typically polyester, ceramic, or fiberglass—within the seal or as a surface cover. Our products include the following:
- Fabricated seals and extrusions for wing seals, doors, and hatches
- Interior couplings
- Inflatable cockpit canopy seals used to seal pressurized cabins
