Parker’s aerodynamic seals are elastomeric shapes reinforced with fabric. Used as gap fillers between the flight control surfaces and wings of aircraft, they improve aerodynamics by reducing air friction and thus drag, resulting in lower fuel consumption and noise emissions as well as enhanced aircraft fineness.

The gaps are perfect spots for drag creation. The reason is that airflow moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure through these small gaps, making airflow turbulent and increasing drag.
Parker’s Aerodynamic Seals effectively eliminate such drag spots by closing these gaps.

• Fabric-reinforced seal will bear the wear due to mechanical and air abrasion over time.
• Fabric and Elastomer arrangement can be designed for maximum reduction of friction.
• Use of elastomers acc. to AMS/MIL or Airbus ABR-4-XXXX specifications.
• Use of fabric acc. to ABR_9-0142 and other specifications.
• Product flexibility allows for easy installation.
• Increased lifetime due to fabric reinforcement.
• Low strength degradation over time with extended UV exposure.
• Fire-retardant seal
• Typical products: O-rings, molded shapes, over-molded shapes

Range of application:
Aircraft flight control surfaces, wings, nacelles, door seals
