A Special National Aviation Day Edition of Product 101
The next time you board a flight, take a moment to look beyond the window seat.
While passengers may only see the cabin, modern aviation relies on a complex network of materials and technologies working behind the scenes. From overhead compartments and seating materials to communications systems, landing gear components and airport infrastructure, innovation can be found throughout every stage of the journey.
In honor of National Aviation Day, we’re inviting you to explore our interactive 3D Aircraft Tour and discover some of the ways Bakelite technologies help support the aviation industry.
Where You’ll Find Bakelite
✈️ In overhead compartments and passenger seating, helping support the durability and performance required in aerospace environments
✈️ Throughout the aircraft, helping create lightweight components designed for strength and durability
✈️ Behind critical communications and operating systems, supporting functions that help keep aircraft connected and running safely
✈️ From brake pads and tires to landing gear components, helping withstand the demanding conditions of takeoff and landing
✈️ Beyond the runway, in technologies used throughout airport and airfield infrastructure
Modern aviation depends on materials that can perform under demanding conditions while meeting strict requirements for safety, durability, and efficiency. Through a broad portfolio of technologies, Bakelite supports applications that help make air travel possible every day.
