HILITECH claims to provide the lightest cabin systems and linings on the aircraft market.

The portfolio ranges from single components – like sliding doors, tables, horseshoe toilet seats, shower trays etc. to full lining accoutrements, high-class cabinets and decorative carbon surfaces and applications. All of these products naturally comply with all applicable certification requirements of the aircraft industry. HILITECH components are delivered as a complete and tested interior solution, combined with the benefit of high-quality veneer processing and high-gloss finish by F/LIST.

With special production methods and a unique combination of materials, HILITECH has been able to reduce the weight of components by up to 25% compared to conventional construction techniques. With a newly developed filling material currently in the patent phase it will be possible to make the core of tabletops even lighter than at present. HILITECH expects an additional weight saving of 10% compared to the previous construction method, which is equivalent to total weight savings of up to 35% compared to the market standard.

HILITECH combines different materials such as carbon fibre, glass fibre, aramid fibres, foams or honeycomb materials. Multiple areas of application and the variety of components in business jets demand variable manufacturing processes, tool application and materiality define the final product. For this reason, all tooling is done in-house, for maximum precision and flexibility, via a highly modern production infrastructure including autoclave-/prepreg-technology, vacuum processes, compression moulding, wet laminate technology, rapid prototyping technologies, CNC milling, prepreg cutter and 3D scanning.

On its mission to defy gravity, HILITECH invests in ideas and infrastructure as well as in materials and modern machinery, constantly searching to optimise processes, materials and workflows. The construction of the company’s own plant in Kindberg will be completed in 2018 and boost the company’s capacities with a large production area and more manpower.
