M.C. Gill Corporation Qualifies New Bulk Cargo Compartment Floor Panel for Airbus Aircraft
- 31 March 2008
El Monte, California – Irv Freund, Vice President Business Development and Marketing of M.C.Gill Corporation, is pleased to announce qualification of Gillfab 4523, a bulk compartment floor panel for Airbus aircraft.
Gillfab 4523 is a low smoke sandwich panel with facings of modified phenolic resin reinforced with a combination of woven and unidirectional glass fibers and Nomex® honeycomb core. This panel has very high impact resistance and is qualified to Airbus Technical Specification No. 5360 MIM 000500, Issue 6, FAR 25.853 and ABD 0031, Type BCC3. This amazing new panel exhibits a 71% increase in impact strength over its predecessor, Gillfab 4223. Its impact resistance far exceeds anything else on the market, making it the most durable product of its kind. Gillfab 4523 is ideally suited for the rough treatment it will endure in the bulk cargo hold area meaning more flights between repairs. Another key benefit is that Gillfab 4523 inserts are the same as those qualified with Gillfab 4223 so change-outs will be seamless.
Rigorous testing shows that Gillfab 4523, our next generation bulk cargo floor liner, is a step ahead of similar products and exceeds Airbus Specification impact requirements by 33% with minimal increase in weight.
