GORE® Aerospace Cables and Materials

Improvements in aerospace technology and the need for more power performance are driving the demand to update military aircraft. Also, tighter budgets mean that aircraft need to be more reliable, remain in service longer, and require less maintenance and are not damaged to reduce life-cycle costs. Understanding these challenges and how they are changing is the only way to ensure mission-critical success. We are here to collaborate with you to improve your components, systems, and aircraft performance.

Mechanical, electrical, and environmental stress factors can easily affect cables and materials performance throughout the aircraft. For example, the aircraft environment exposes cable materials to harsh contaminants such as fuels, oils, and chemicals. Extreme temperature changes in which cables must operate can have a direct impact on the materials used in their construction as well. Cables can be easily compromised by abrasion from continuous movement through tight areas.
