Aviation Insulation
Despite all the advances in military aviation over the last 40-50 years, insulation systems have remained largely unchanged. Until now.
Cocoon has leveraged the discoveries it made during the development of advanced protective covers to create game-changing aviation insulation systems. Our patented combination of technical textiles results in a remarkable collection of features, and, more importantly, a wide range of benefits. As you review the various features and benefits of these advanced systems, you’ll see that aviation insulation has been more than modernized, it’s been revolutionized.
Cocoon Aviation Insulation Applications
CH-47 Blankets
Along with mitigating/preventing corrosion, Cocoon’s Improved Thermal Acoustic Blanket (ITAB) saves 140+ lbs. compared to the legacy blankets. The result is improved readiness, lower maintenance costs, and greater mission capability.
C-130 Insulation
The C-130 insulation system has been re-engineered and redesigned literally from the inside-out. The system features better batting, better blankets, and an attachment system that solves the Wing Box problem and allows insulation in the tail section.
Corrosion costs related to Aviation & Missiles add up to $10 billion annually. That’s 50% of the total cost of corrosion across the Department of Defense.
