To facilitate aircraft recovery, we have added contour matching equipment to the lifting bag sets.
There are two ways to achieve contour matching:
By using contact chambers
By using vacum chambers
Contact chambers contour matching consists of individual inflatable elements positioned in such a way that there is an optimum contact with the surface of the aircraft, which is particularly important when the aircraft surface is at an angle. Padded plate (10mm)is used as protection from sharp edges or protrusions.
Most modern aircraft have wings that angle upwards which make the lifting process more difficult. The vacuum chamber system offers additional advantages:
Meets the requirements of aircraft manufacturers
High stability
Ability to adapt to any shape
Low skin pressure
Detailed instructions on the use of contour matching are included in the Instructions/Safety Manual.
