Trim weights
Used to achieve final balance in
an individual component,
assembly or complete aircraft.
Anti-flutter weights
Used to reduce any tendency to
flutter in wings and other
components.
Flight control surfaces
Components such as ailerons,
flaps, rudders and elevators are
fitted with counterweights to
optimize their performance.
Anti-vibration weights
Wolfmet weights have been used
to deaden vibration in
applications such as the pilot's
stick and in riveting tooling. The
same principle is used to
increase passenger comfort by
reducing vibration within the
body of the aircraft - this is
particularly valuable in
turboprops and helicopters.
Rotor blades
Helicopter rotor blades require
both static and dynamic
balancing.
Propeller blades
Wolfmet counterweights are
designed into a propeller fail-safe
system to prevent overspeeding
Inertial systems
Rotating parts in gyroscopic
controls are often made from
Wolfmet material because of its
high angular momentum. These
applications are typically found in
avionics and missiles.
Ballast weights
These weights are frequently
used in development or
prototype work to simulate the
weight of equipment or
passengers during test flights.
