ECS ducts provide cooling air or other media to aircraft crew and avionic systems.  ECS ducting can be fabricated from Kevlar®, Fiberglass or carbon fibers with various resin systems.  ECS ducting systems are designed to utilize a ultra low weight design for optimum performance.  Additionally, low thermal conductivity insulation blankets are available on many of the ducts to meet stringent thermal requirements.

The above shown are specially insulated ECS ducts that are fabricated from a polyester resin system with fiberglass reinforcement.  This ducting system is designed for use in a restricted envelope environment, utilizing a low profile aerospace insulation for optimum performance.  This ducting package incorporates a specialized design for retrofit on military surveillance platforms.  These ducts are engineered to consistently outperform  standard military specifications.

• Fiberglass fiber
  • E-Glass - High strength, lowest cost fiber, available in many forms, widely used in commercial and industrial products
  • S-Glass - Improved strength, higher modulus, higher cost fiber, used in aerospace and high performance pressure vessel applications.
• Carbon / Graphite Fiber - Increased performance, wide strength range, highest fiber cost, intermediate density, poor impact or damage tolerance, best tensile strength and stiffness properties.
• Thermoplastics - Including Spectra Shield® with ballistic properties
• Aramid fiber - Good strength, higher modulus, higher cost fiber, very low density, excellent impact and damage tolerance properties, poor compression and shear strength.
• Kevlar®
