NEW LAMINAR FLOW SPEED PANTS REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Daytona Beach, FL – FAA approved Laminar Flow Speed Pants will add up to 10.5 mph over bare wheels and up to 8 mph over stock wheel pants for all Piper PA-28 and PA-32 aircraft models.  A special pressure recovery design improves rate of climb with most installations.
At 10 pounds, these second generation Speed Pants are lighter and up to 5 times stronger than conventional Piper wheel pants.  They are made of three layers of hand-laid, 10 ounce fiberglass which is oven cured with a high strength resin.  Additional layers of cloth are applied to stress areas.  A removable panel allows easy access to brakes.  Wing to wheel fairings improve the aesthetics of the main gear.
For pre-1978 Piper models the Speed Pants, strut fairings and applicable hardware is $2,470.  Later models can be retrofitted for $1,995 for Speed Pants only, with optional strut fairings available for $475.  For more information contact Laminar Flow at 386.253.8833 or visit www.LaminarFlowSystems.com
