Transport of airplane wings, complex structures, etc
The transportation of aeronautical components requires specific measures. The fragility of parts used in multimodal transport (road and maritime) necessitates tailored solutions to protect the equipment from shocks and vibrations encountered during transit between manufacturing and assembly sites.
Socitec contributed to defining the limit to ensure the airframe’s integrity during transport. Metallic cable isolators were developed and integrated between the airframe and the trailer. Isolation solutions weighing 2 to 3 tons each were installed to filter vibrations caused by rolling and movement. Their stainless steel composition resolved oxidation issues resulting from maritime transport and saltwater exposure.
