X-SERIES® DESIGN GALLERY

Terrestrial & Spaceflight PyroFlex™ Thermal Straps

Our X-Series® PyroFlex™ Design Gallery is not only a testament to our expertise and heritage, but our ability to accommodate a vast array of customer demands. The following pictures are just a sampling of the straps TAI has manufactured for a number of spaceflight, ground-based, and airborne applications (both prototype and FM's or follow-on orders) in the United States and Europe.

*Unlike some sites, TAI never uses stolen, manipulated, or photo-shopped images to falsely portray non-existent product lines, customization, plating services, production & assembly capabilities, or past program history. For example: many images seen online are either stolen from TAI's website, or poorly edited and taken from different angles in an attempt to conceal the quality or type of strap pictured, or to create the illusion of extensive program history.
