Fabric Design
Fabric design is central to all of our product development. Our engineers are experts in the design and specification of fabrics including broadcloth, tape, webbing, cords, ropes and coated fabrics. Airborne Systems is also expert in the joining of all classes of fabrics to create efficient structures for these dynamic fabric-based parachute systems.
Our Space and Recovery Systems engineers work with all modern fibers, and constantly track emerging technologies in fibers, fabrics, film, scrims and coatings.
