Our client works at a community-run museum which houses 74 fighter aircraft and welcomes an average of 30,000 visitors a year. The client wished to carry out renovation work on the leading edges of the Jaguar A 157 using EPDM purchased from BORFLEX CHERBOURG. This project was a great success, and we are delighted to share this experience with you.
The challenges of refurbishing the leading edges of the Jaguar A 157
• Durability and Strength: Leading edges must withstand extreme flight conditions, including temperature fluctuations and aerodynamic forces.
• Technical Precision: The precision of the materials used is crucial to ensuring the aircraft’s performance and safety.
• Compliance with Standards: The project had to comply with the aviation industry’s strict standards.
• Scarcity of Spare Parts: As the Jaguar A 157 is a vintage aircraft, spare parts are scarce or non-existent. This requires the involvement of professionals specialising in sealing, moulding, rubber extrusion and small- to medium-scale production to maintain this aircraft in good condition.
