Lightweight aircraft armour

For the protection of an aircraft every kilogram of weight matters. Extra weight reduces the payload and the range of operation. Therefore, TenCate Advanced Armour protection solutions for aircrafts use the most lightweight materials available such as high performance polyethylene and silicon carbide.

Our projects include protection of the EH101 and Super Lynx helicopters from AgustaWestland.
