STREAMLINE WIRES

&

TIE RODS

 

Streamline wires and tie rods are produced to dimensions and tolerances in accordance with relevant specifications or to customers' specific requirements or drawings. Experimental and sport aerobatic as well as vintage aircraft are catered for. All wires and rods are produced from stainless steel, feature superior rolled threads and are available with either a satin or highly polished finish.

 

As one observer noted:

Flying wires are hand made by experienced craftsmen. After the wire is drawn to give it its special aerodynamic shape, it needs to be straightened. This is done by experienced craftsmen using mallets against a thick wooden bench      

 

Every wire or rod produced is subjected to proof loading equivalent to 60% of the rated strength to ensure 100% pilot confidence when fitted to the aircraft. End terminals are also manufactured in stainless steel and can be supplied either loose or pre-assembled on wires to ensure a perfect fit.

 

 

 

In recent years, these streamline wires have been utilised in the high stress world of Formula 1 race cars with many of the top teams. In the aerodynamically critical areas where they are used, the reduced drag factor has proved to be of great advantage in the quest for ever more speed.
