utchinson has been
involved in aviation practically since the dawn
of the industry. Starting with special rubbers
and fabrics, we gradually added a number of
other capabilities, from engine mounts to
advanced insulation. We have now grouped all
of our aerospace businesses under one
umbrella organization, Hutchinson Aerospace.
We are very proud of the critical components
and materials that we supply to leading players
in the aerospace and defense industries.
Jacques Maigné,
Director, Hutchinson Aerospace
These capabilities have made us the
European or world leader in just about all of
our core businesses: antivibration, thermal/
acoustic insulation, sealing systems, coatings,
fluid transfer, displays, control panels and
racks. Looking ahead, we are developing our
capabilities to meet the full spectrum of
customer needs, from technical materials to
complete subassemblies and test systems.
And we are expanding our footprint as well, to
keep pace with today’s global market.
Our products are not necessarily the most
visible part of the airplane, but they play vital
roles and have to be as reliable as the engines
or avionics. They are present from nose to tail,
in just about every part of the plane.
We’re a major supplier on almost all types of
platforms, through all of our businesses.
Hutchinson Aerospace gives you service you
can count on, anywhere in the world.
As you well know, there are no compromises
in aerospace. When it comes to our areas of
expertise, we take care of all the details.
Because our legacy of excellence reaches
back nearly 100 years. Today, our engineers
keep their fingers on the pulse of the market
to give you the practical solutions needed to
meet evolving requirements.
Join us at Hutchinson Aerospace for a safe,
comfortable flight!

Hutchinson Aerospace makes an extremely
wide range of seals and sealants for the
aerospace and defense industry. We hold
clear market leadership in Europe, and serve
some 600 clients worldwide, including
Dassault, EADS, Boeing, Alenia, Embraer,
Bombardier and Rolls Royce.
Hutchinson has worked with the aerospace
industry for years to develop sealants that
meet evolving demands. Primarily used in
aircraft construction, on fuselages and fuel
tanks, they have to combine low density with
resistance to extreme temperature
fluctuations and corrosive fluids, plus the
ability to adhere to all types of materials.
The materials used in our seals have also
evolved, from the original rubber and metal,
to custom compounds such as silicone,
polychloroprene, nitrile, EPDM, etc., which
operate at -75°C to +315°C. They are certified
to all major standards.
Hutchinson engineers a wide variety of seals
and other parts on the outside of planes which
play an important role in overall aerodynamic
performance. This is a key design factor.
Hutchinson continues to develop sealing
systems that offer greater strength and fire
resistance, longer life, lighter weight and
faster curing. They will also be multifunctional
and more integrated, for easier installation
and servicing – an all-important advantage in
today’s cost-driven environment.

for over 50 years, with a complete range of air
ducts, clamps of all types and flexible and
rigid hose assemblies.
Hutchinson offers full design, production and
testing capabilities, plus long experience with
the different materials that are combined to
make these products, from rubber and steel
to thermoplastics and plastomers. We’re also
up to speed on the two major trends shaping
our business: the transition from metallic to
synthetic products, and increasing demand
for integrated assemblies and complete
functions, which make life easier for today’s
aircraft manufacturers!
Using our computer-aided design and modeling
systems, we develop parts that are tailored to
exact operating conditions, and deliver predictable
performance. EDI connections with our
customers ensure quick, secure data
interchange at every step in the process.
Composite parts combine greater strength, longer
life and lower weight. In addition, they offer
greater fire resistance and electrical safety, while
making it easier to develop integrated functions.
We are also developing our range of integrated
assemblies, such as pipes fitted with insulation.
And we will be expanding market coverage,
based on an increasing number of manufacturer
approvals.

Hutchinson Aerospace offers high-tech, customtailored materials and assemblies that are an
integral part of all aircraft and spacecraft, in
particular meeting today’s increasingly stringent
fire-resistance and acoustic regulations. Designed
for thermal and fluid resistance, mechanical
strength, lightness and non-toxicity, these
materials and assemblies are used in today’s
leading airplanes, helicopters and launch vehicles.
We have worked with major customers such as
Dassault, Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Aircelle,
Snecma and Arianespace for many years, building
a relationship of mutual trust. For instance, we
supply engine and propellant tank insulation on
Ariane 5, Europe’s market-leading commercial
launch vehicle.
In addition to our understanding of a wide range
of materials used in insulation (including new
porous materials and composite skins), we have
developed unrivaled modeling tools and knowledge
of psychoacoustics.
Hutchinson operates one of only three approved
thermal test facilities in Europe, which means we
can deliver fully-tested materials, ready to install.
Plus, this facility is used by all companies in the
group, expanding our market coverage. Our scope
of business will expand even more in the future, as
our thermal/acoustic business teams up with
other Hutchinson units to offer integrated packages.

are used in a wide range of aircraft including
turboprops, commercial and business jets,
helicopters, and high performance combat
aircraft, where our products have to stand up
to severe operating conditions.
As electronics become an increasingly

Deicing systems are a key to all-weather flight,
especially critical on helicopters flying SAR missions.
eicing
Hutchinson Aerospace has over 40 years of
experience in producing electrothermal
deicing systems. Hutchinson is a world leader
in the helicopter market, supplying systems
for main and tail rotors, plus engine air inlets.
We also provide systems for fixed-wing
aircraft, and we’re working with industry on
the inevitable transition to “more electric”
aircraft – where electrothermal systems will
be a natural fit.
These systems are now increasingly required
as standard equipment by manufacturers and
operators who have to offer all-weather flying.
Many military transport helicopters are fitted
with our deicing systems and are capable of
flying under all known icing conditions.
Our systems are easy to retrofit with minimal
structural changes.
Hutchinson continues to perfect conventional
deicing technology, and we’re also working
on new solutions such as carbon-fiber
composites for better damage resistance.
The other major trend is a demand for
complete systems, and in this case several
Hutchinson Aerospace units can team up to
provide complete deicing systems, including
the control electronics.
Whether saving lives or keeping aircraft in the
air, you can count on electrothermal deicing
systems from Hutchinson.
