What is a drop-stitch tent?

A drop-stitch tent has walls that are themselves inflated into rigid panels, rather than a skin stretched over inflated tubes. Tens of thousands of internal threads hold the two fabric faces parallel, which is what gives the wall real thickness and stiffness.

What wind can an inflatable military tent take?

Wind rating depends on working pressure, anchoring and the specific model, and it is meaningless without a test report behind it. Ours are being verified; we publish numbers when they are documented.

What happens if a military inflatable tent is punctured?

In a chambered drop-stitch structure, the affected chamber softens and the rest of the structure stands, and the puncture is patched in the field. In air-beam construction the tube is the frame, so losing one is a structural event.

Helicopter Hangar

直升机库

A wide, low inflatable hangar sized for rotary-wing aircraft.

helicopter hangar deployed on site, in use — In use on site

Typical use

Air ambulance bases holding aircraft between callouts
Police and fire aviation units on temporary sites
Offshore and remote support operations
Maintenance cover during detachments

Why an inflatable structure

Very wide opening without a structural header across it
Erects on an existing pad with no groundworks
Strikes down when the detachment ends

Where this is not the right choice

Rotor downwash against a membrane structure has to be tested, not assumed. We will not quote a hangar for live rotor operations without that measurement.

Specifications pending supplier verification

Working pressure, membrane thickness, tensile and tear strength, weight, packed volume, deployed dimensions, fire rating and warranty are being verified with our manufacturing partner and independent laboratories. We publish figures when they are documented, not before.
