Thermal Acoustic Systems

On the ground and at 30,000 feet, 3M thermal and acoustic solutions are engineered to lessen the vibration, lower the sound and take the heat. Materials are instrumental for passenger comfort, and for maintaining reliable operation of aircraft components – without adding weight. They include structural aircraft damping composites, thermally and acoustically tuned primary insulation, overframe blankets and conformable carpet pads for acoustic management. This is just the start. Learn more now.
