5 Unique Cases for the Aerospace Industry

The aerospace industry relies on a variety of transit cases to transport essential items, including aerospace specific instruments, equipment, and tools. These cases protect their contents from damage and tampering during transportation. Custom transit cases for the aerospace industry must be made with materials that can withstand harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, pressure changes, shock and vibration – all common in air travel. The aerospace industry encompasses countless aircraft as well as their tools which are specifically designed to? create, use, maintain, and repair. The following cases are often required for this industry and can be created to the highest quality specifications by the designers at the Packaging Strategies Design and Technology Center.

Drones/UAVs

Drones and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are made of complex mechanisms and are frequently assembled in unusual shapes. They typically need to be ready for immediate use without extra assembly. This means their cases must resist shock, vibration, and moisture while being large enough to contain the entire drone. Custom foam cushioning is essential when creating drone cases as the foam can hug each nook and cranny of the specific drone design creating a safe storage environment for your valuable equipment.??

Avionics Equipment

Avionics (“aviation electronics”) equipment is essential for monitoring and controlling aircraft systems. This equipment can include pieces necessary for engine controls, flight control systems, navigation, communications, lighting systems, flight recorders, threat detection, fuel systems, weather radar, and much more. Because of the importance of this equipment, they must be transported safely through custom, vibration-resistant cases made of sturdy materials such as aluminum. When transporting fuel systems, the cases are leak-proof and made with materials designed to be resistant to any residual fuel that may contaminate them.

Tools

Aerospace technicians use a variety of tools to maintain and repair aircraft. The tool cases for the aerospace industry must be able to protect these items from damage while keeping them organized and in their place during transit. You can maintain an organized tool case when you use custom foam inserts fitted for each specific tool. That way, when technicians open up the case, they can immediately find the tool they need and provide more efficient service.?

Life Support Equipment?

Life support equipment, including oxygen tanks and breathing apparatus, are critical to have on hand, so crew and passengers can stay safe during flights. Custom cases for the aerospace industry are needed to transport these items and store them during flight. Life support cases can often times be made from more lightweight materials, making them easier to transport and handle.?

Flight Simulators

Flight simulators are used to train pilots and simulate real-world flight scenarios. These simulators are large and complex, and they require careful transportation to avoid damage. Transit cases for flight simulators are often custom-built to fit the specific size and shape of the simulator. These cases are made from strong materials and are reinforced along the corners or edges to shield the simulators from vibrations and external impacts.
