Case Study
Paustian Airtex
The fabric of success
Paustian airtex is a leading producer of textile and leather products for passenger cabins, also providing the related certification and MRO services. Its EASA 21J-approved Design Organisation uses aircraft configurator Pacelab Cabin to support airline clients’ refurbishment projects.
Fresh interiors
Paustian airtex first built its reputation on high-quality textile and leather covers for aircraft seats, curtains and carpets, shaping the look of passenger cabins of all kinds and sizes, from small VIP jets to large commercial airliners. In the course of four decades of business, the company’s portfolio has expanded from the manufacture of fabrics and customized interior solutions.
In 2012, Paustian airtex received Design Organization approval (Part 21J) from European airworthiness authority EASA, authorizing its Berlin-based subdivision to provide design and approval services for cabin refurbishments and main-tenance projects.
Design approval support
When searching for a software to support the generation of LOPA drawings, Paustian airtex’s design team decided on Pacelab myCabin and on the strength of its integrated rules engine, which continuously verifies the layout’s compliance with certification requirements and other design specifications. This ensures that any approval issues will be instantly detected, keeping the number of revisions to a minimum.
The ready-to-use and extensible library of cabin items used to set up and manage a repository of seat variants as well as the convenient layout generation via drag and drop have helped Paustian airtex to significantly speed up the LOPA creation process. Once approved, the fully customizable output and reporting options issue all documentation relevant for certification including standard-compliant engineering drawings and technical data.
