Airforms gets FAA nod for new baffles

By Janice Wood · August 22, 2010 ·

Airforms Inc. has received FAA/PMA approval of new engine baffle designs for Piper PA2-150, PA28-140 and PA32-300/260 aircraft models.

This adds to the 50-plus models the company already supplies to customers around the world. These engine baffles have many improvements to increase engine cooling efficiency and service life, according to company officials. Among the improvements are the use of more doublers, 6061-T6/304 stainless material and fiberglass reinforced silicone seals.

Levi Ward, general manager for Airforms Inc., commented on the focus the company has put into perfecting the fit and cooling efficiency of the engine baffle designs: “The most important goal is for our engine baffle designs to do the job efficiently and install without modifications. Our focus is on designing the engine baffles to fit snuggly on the engine to create that perfect high pressure under the cowling to force cooling air through the engine’s cylinders. The impact is longer TBO times and reduced maintenance costs.”
