Insulation Blankets | Schuster Aero 2

The Future of Aviation Insulation Blankets

Modern commercial aircraft rely on advanced insulation blankets to enhance thermal efficiency, reduce noise, and improve fire safety. A typical wide-body aircraft contains over 2,000 individual insulation blankets, weighing between 500–1,200 kg depending on the aircraft model. With the rise of next-gen composite airframes, electric aircraft, and sustainability mandates, the demand for lightweight, high-performance insulation solutions is accelerating.

What We Do

At Schuster, we specialize in cutting-edge aviation insulation blankets that meet FAA, EASA, and OEM specifications while pushing the boundaries of weight reduction and thermal performance. Our manufacturing process integrates advanced materials like ceramic aerogels, meta-aramid felts, and hybrid multilayer composites to deliver superior protection against extreme temperatures, acoustic vibrations, and fire hazards.
