AAM is a rapidly developing industry, providing safe and efficient forms of air transportation that cover everything from package delivery drones to passenger-carrying air taxis. Hybrid-electric or all-electric-powered vertical takeoff and landing vehicles are likely to dominate AAM operations over cities as they are relatively quiet and emit less, or even zero, emissions while running. AAM will revolutionize the way we travel, reducing the need for individually owned cars, cutting down on traffic. This will benefit the environment, not only because of the green energy used, but also indirectly through the impact it has on infrastructure.

 

An experienced partner for developing new technology

Trelleborg has decades of experience in sealing, damping and protection for aerospace and industrial applications. Our expertise allows us to create tailored solutions for a wide range of customer requirements, making us an ideal partner when developing AAM vehicles. Though sometimes perceived as ‘just’ a flying car, these vehicles face several challenges and must fly safely in all kinds of weather. 

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Aerospace has a portfolio of products and materials optimized to work in severe weather and extreme temperatures. They display outstanding resistance and are able to withstand harsh chemicals such as de-icing fluids. Our extensive expertise in aerospace speeds up product development and helps to support our customers with certification requirements.
