Radome seal skirt fairing

Multifunctional sealing system that ensures a robust seal, improves aerodynamics, and facilitates fluid drainage without creating premature erosion on the airframe. Can be adapted to other fuselage diameters.

Main Benefits

  • Improved aerodynamics

  • Low vibration and reduced airframe abrasion

  • Adjustable for different fuselage diameters

  • Integrated drainage holes and a pressure decompression module

Key features

Integrated functions

Hutchinson combines various functions in this complex seal:

  • Adjustable seal that fits different fuselage diameters
  • Aerodynamic cross-section to reduce fuel consumption
  • Decompression openings to prevent damage to radome during landing and takeoff
  • Low compression set, to reduce vibration and cabin noise
  • Drainage hole to expel water condensates
  • Possible to paint the seal to improve aesthetics

Material

  • Low friction fabric to increase working life without damaging fuselage paint
  • Paintable composit skirt fairing to ease assembly, thanks to integrated floating screws

Applications

Can be used on all kind of radomes, including satcom, avionic, weather, camera, etc.
