Aircraft Galleys and Equipment

Abstract

WITH current commercial airliner sales showing a marked upward trend, and operators replacing ageing aircraft that have served them well for the last 15 to 20 years, the market for furnishing equipment, notably galley units, has rarely been so buoyant. Old stainless steel structures, heavy but reliable, are being replaced by incredibly lightweight units made from immensely strong honeycomb bonded structures, in materials such as Fibrelam made by Ciba‐Geigy, which conform fully to the flammability and toxicity regulations which were introduced by the Civil Aviation Authority two or three years ago, to improve the chances for passenger escape in the event of aircraft fires.
