Cabin structures for aerospace

This is the art of the aircraft cabin: a delicate balance of strength, toughness, weight, flexibility and aesthetic appeal. Your choice of materials, and the ways you bond cabin components, are crucial to achieving that balance. 3M can help with a full range of void fillers, potting and core filling compounds, thermoplastic, structural and core splice adhesives, and many others. Choose solutions to meet a wide range of challenges: FR/FST requirements, bonding to specific substrates, increasing build rates and reducing rework to name a few. No other company in aerospace can provide such a complete portfolio of solutions and capabilities, in the cabin and throughout the aircraft.
