IS TIME ON

YOUR SIDE?

Whether you manage

an aviation workshop, design

studio, or multinational company, you know that

efficiency is essential to profitability. The EPIC approach offers

significant advantages over traditional cabin or seating system regulatory

documentation, engineered drawings, and production time lines.

EPIC includes experienced program management

support and documentation for complex regulatory

environments.

❶ Visual Work Instructions

EPIC includes design and manufacturing information

with visual work instructions for each procedure.

To accelerate learning, the highly-complex-processes

are demonstrated in 3D animation. An increase in

procedure clarity causes fewer questions, less errors,

higher quality, and faster results.

❷ Regulatory Compliance Report

We provide the most comprehensive soft good

regulatory compliance report in the industry. The EPIC

Guide is delivered in print, interactive files, and via a

private online service. Important documentation

includes:

Complete and accurate 2D and 3D drawings describing all foam and cover features, materials used, installation of materials, and more.

Flammability test plan and test report which includes coupon results and regulatory flammability certification forms.

❸ Engineering & Automation Files

Concurrent 3D “soft good” engineering and 3D visuals

for internal and external structures allows for

automation that reduces lead times and increase

profits for our clients.

AIR3 can provide clients with CAM files to use on their

own machines, or we can send CNC cut and labeled

parts with visual work instructions.

❹ Product Sample

EPIC includes both a virtual and actual product sample. People, Processes, and Paperwork (3Ps) can derail or

delay a program so AIR3 developed custom production

technology to support the 3Ps and ensure the work

done exceeds all expectations.

EPIC includes both a virtual and actual product sample. This virtual Sikorsky S-92 cabin was created by AIR3. AIR3 is an expert outsource partner for head-of-state level completions. From meticulously stitched leather to custom foam work we focus on custom seat systems and soft goods.

About AIR3

We are an innovative leader in the development and

manufacture of high-quality complete seat solutions

and seat structures for the global aviation industry. Our

capabilities range from:

Full concept development

Design and engineering

Testing and validation

3D enhanced work instructions

Program management

World-class manufacturing

The Challenge

Custom aircraft interiors and seating systems are

“filled with design uncertainties.” A change in the

parameters of a shape, material, or manufacturing

process can affect 1,000 variables.

It’s nearly impossible to efficiently design covers, foam,

and composite parts and account for, let alone

optimize, all the complexities and constraints without

specialty technologies and custom tooling.

Two Times Faster

Our service completely eliminates the reliance on

physical prototyping and ambiguous work instructions.

This allows an aircraft to return to service faster than

traditional methods. Prototyping time is reduced by

80% and fabrication time can be cut in half on many

fully custom projects.

If completing production twice as fast sounds too good

to be true, it is because you are thinking in terms of

the traditional approach. AIR3 has spent the past two

years perfecting a system that will create a new

benchmark for custom work.

EPIC Pricing

AIR3 offers EPIC services to aircraft designers,

outfitters, and repair facilities. AIR3 also has the ability

to offer a turn-key solution as a production outsource

vendor. EPIC pricing depends on the complexity of the

project. Prices range from $2,100 to $28,000.

Additional fees may apply.
