[[/diagram]] How rubber makes flying safer, more comfortable, too SOME big airplanes need more than a ton of rubber products to keep them flying. Some smaller airplanes may have more than fifty different rubber accessories, from tires to window seals. The cut-away picture shows what some of these produces are, and where they would be found in a big, 4-motor transport. First, there are the products necessary for safety. These include the tires that must cushion the landing and bring the plane in comfortably and safely. Then, there are the De-Icers, made only by B.F. Goodrich, to break away the ice that forms on wings and tail surfaces in some flying weather. The electrically-heated rubber shows that protect propellers and other parts of the airplane are also important for safe flight in all weather. The hose, seals, brakes, and many other rubber parts are also vital to efficient flying. Then, there are the products that make flying more comfortable. Airline cabins are equipped with sponge rubber seats, and many of them have B.F. Goodrich flooring material made of durable, cushioning, synthetic elastic materials. Soundproofed cabins are finished in fire-resistant materials, such as B.F. Goodrich Koroseal. B.F. Goodrich engineers continue to work with airplane designers to develop new products wherever rubber and synthetic materials may make the planes better cheaper or safer. The B.F.

Was unsure if cut-away image needed to be transcribed? I would think that they would.
