Dallas, Texas - 19 February 2003 - Executive Concepts is working with aircraft operators to retrofit cockpit doors so they are both more secure from forced entry and bullet resistant. The company worked with M.C. Gill Corporation to create a light weight, highly effective bullet resistant panel for replacement cockpit doors.

The first installation of a new Executive Concepts safety door using a GillfabT 1360B laminate panel over a GillfabT 5072 Interior Panel occurred recently with Kitty Hawk Corporation, a freight operator based in Dallas, Texas. Kitty Hawk operates a fleet of 727s. Kitty Hawk worked with Executive Concepts to find the right configuration for a door to meet their needs and installation schedule.

With this installation they will seek a supplemental type certificate which is required for further installations.

M.C. Gill manufactures a number of different laminates that resist bullets. Company involvement with these products can be traced back to the early years, when the Navy was asking for materials to protect its vessels from attack. These offerings have evolved over time, with a new series of products reengineered in the wake of increased global security concerns.
