Norton Radome for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner 

Saint-Gobain Composites Aerospace (Ravenna, Ohio), a business unit of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, has been working in close cooperation with Spirit AeroSystems (Wichita, Kansas) for many years to supply Norton high-performance radomes for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. And with success! Since the start of this cooperation and program deliveries beginning in September 2011, Boeing has delivered 431 787s to 41 airlines around the globe and is on track to deliver number 500 in December 2016.

The radome design provides the 787 operator with the best weather radar performance and excellent service life. 

Is your standard fuselage liner causing you a headache, because it is not working properly? The effect will be that you aircraft will perform less because of bad moisture drainage. this will cause you to fly  "overweight" & experience more downtime inflicted by corrosion & insulation blanket replacements 

Dryliner^TM is a product specifically designed to eliminate moisture buildup in aircraft insulation blankets by directing moisture away from the blanket and into the bilge. Dryliner is installed between the aircraft skin and insulation blanket which insures proper air circulation and moisture drainage. 

In short: Dryliner^TM exhibits superior drainage capability and air circulation performance over standard fuselage liners, saving you time & money!

Over 350.000 sheets of  Dryliner are currently flying worldwide on the following aircraft:

727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, A300, A310, A320, DC8, DC9, DC10, MD11, MD80/90.
