Commercial & General Aviation

Commercial and General Aviation

The Kulite Pressure Transducers can be found on most aircraft from the Airbus A380 Jumbo to the Piper Trainers. Our Piezoresistive Technology is particularly applicable for engine mounted pressure measurement; main oil pressure, fuel, filters, coolers, P2 inlet, P3 bleed air and engine torque pressure. Each of the major engine companies favor the Kulite product because of its unique reliability in harsh aircraft environments.

Both the Commercial and General Aviation platforms also prefer the Kulite product because of lightweight, no moving parts, no maintenance or adjustments and the outstanding performance. These can be found in Hydraulic Systems, Environmental Control Systems, Brakes, Tire Pressure and Flight Controls. Reliability and Quality continue to be Kulite’s number one commitment to the Aircraft Industry.
