Knight Optical can offer you stock and custom lambda/10 mirrors for use in government testing for aerospace, in a range of materials such as BK7 or equivalent, Zerodur, Quartz, UV Fused Silica and many more. Mirrors are made from low expansion glass for optimum stability to maintain the lambda/10 flatness. The mirrors help produce high quality images and can be coated with a variety of coatings to ensure that the perfect quality image in the wavelength you require is achieved: Enhanced aluminium 94%R for visible applications. 99.9% dielectric for laser use in visible applications. UV aluminium for UV applications down to 180nm. 98.5% dielectric for laser use in the NIR applications. Ion plated silver for NIR-2000nm applications. Protected gold for 750nm to far infra-red applications λ/10 mirrors are used in the aerospace environment due to the vibration, temperatures & pressure through which they are exposed.

The PPS Aerostrip provides a simple and convenient replacement for traditional pressure tapping or pressure-sensitive paint. It is a low profile, rapidly deployable air pressure sensing strip for aerodynamic measurement and surface optimization for motorsport and aerospace applications. The AeroStrip consists of an extremely thin strip of sensors that can be applied, and reapplied, non-destructively to test surfaces for pressure measurement due to reusable masked adhesive backing. It has comparable accuracy to pressure tapping in subsonic flow, but with a tiny fraction of the setup time and cost. With Aerostrip, you can quickly take non-destructive outside pressure measurements from control surfaces, live or in a wind tunnel, enabling faster turnaround and optimization of aerodynamic components.

The margin for error in the aerospace industry is zero. Materials for applications in the sky, stratosphere & space are required to perform without fault. Rubber materials are proven to withstand the demanding stresses & temperature variations needed for the environment the products find service in. DLR designs the rubber compound, parts & tooling, enabling the products to maintain their properties when subjected to the extremes of the operating temperature range. The rubber can be formulated on-site to meet your specific physical properties & colour requirements.
