Iris Door Infill

Maintenance hangar space is a rare resource. In many cases the available hangar resources are too tight for the number of aircraft to be maintained or even too small for the appropriate aircraft type. In these cases it would be beneficial to put only parts of the aircraft into the hangar.

 

Hangars with Iris Doors are an adequate solution to win additional capacity – but Iris Doors are designed for specific aircraft types or at least fuselage diameters and need adequate protection bumpers to avoid damages on the fuselage. The inflatable Iris Door Infill solves these problems. During inflation it closes the gap between the fuselage and the hangar iris with fabrics and air only. The fuselage is protected while the hangar is fully sealed.

 

Every Iris Door Infill will be tailored to the appropriate hangar environment and is available at very short lead-time. It is small enough to ship as part of the fly-away kit. Inflation takes only 2 minutes with a crew of 2-3 people. Once in place, the system will boost your maintenance team’s productivity by providing a safe environment in which to work. These shelters feature specially designed fabrics that are both lightweight and tough, providing excellent abrasion and tear resistance. The unique materials are also fire retardant and resistant to hydraulic fluid and fuels, ensuring that they remain functional for many years. The Iris Door Infill is supplied in a storage box. In the unlikely event that the shelter becomes damaged while in use, an on-site repair kit is supplied as part of the package.
