An Analytical Study of the Structural Composition and Functional Performance Evaluation of Aircraft Blanket Fabrics

Specialized aircraft blanket fabrics are essential materials used to provide comfort and warmth to passengers during flights, especially on long-haul flights or when flying in environments with low temperatures. These fabrics are characterized by their high thermal insulation properties, ensuring passenger comfort during flight. These fabrics are made using various materials such as polyester and acrylic, meeting aviation safety standards.

Blanket fabrics used in aircraft require specific specifications such as lightweight, durability, abrasion resistance, ease of storage, and the ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, they must be capable of withstanding varying temperatures.

The production of aircraft blanket fabrics requires a thorough analysis of the fabric's weave structure to determine the best specifications in terms of thermal insulation, durability, and lightweight properties. Characteristics such as yarn count and fabric density, which affect the fabric's functional performance, are considered.

The problem addressed in this research is that aircraft blanket fabrics must meet high-performance standards such as thermal comfort, durability, and lightweight, in line with aviation and safety requirements. They must also be adaptable to the harsh environmental conditions of flying. Therefore, there is a need for a precise analysis of the weave structure of these fabrics and an evaluation of their functional performance, aiming to determine the optimal standard specifications that ensure quality and efficiency in their use in this specialized field.

This study aims to analyze the weave structure of blanket fabrics used in aircraft and assess their functional performance in terms of thermal comfort, durability, and lightweight properties, while determining the optimal standard specifications that ensure their alignment with global safety and quality standards, thereby enhancing their efficiency in the aviation environment.

Blankets from different global airlines were analyzed, and tests were conducted on them. Most of the samples met the necessary requirements such as thermal insulation, durability, and lightweight properties. A standard specification for specialized aircraft fabrics was also developed to ensure they meet safety and comfort needs.
