Manufacturing Capabilities

More than 35 years have gone into making Perkins Aircraft Services, Inc. a well-respected technological leader in the manufacturing and development of aircraft transparencies. Throughout our manufacturing history, Perkins Aircraft Services expertise has been applied to the engineering, design, tooling, certification and production of numerous projects. These projects range in complexity from F15 canopies and DC-10 windshields to simpler items such as wingtip lenses and passenger windows. No matter how simple or complex the project, Perkins Aircraft Services is constantly striving to utilize the latest technology to satisfy many applications requiring:

Our facilities are located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas and include:

Perkins Aircraft Services Brings Value to Aviation

Perkins Aircraft Services currently holds PMA certificates on close to 250 products. Our marketing and engineering departments work closely with one another to make sure that our product line continues to grow along with the needs of our valued customers. The common issues of all of our customers are cost, quality and availability. We here at Perkins Aircraft Services pride ourselves in providing FAA/PMA approved products at a significant savings over the other OEM prices. Our product line includes after-market windows for at least one model from nearly every major air-frame manufacturer in the world. Names like:

And all of our products meet or exceed the exacting standards specified by the airframe manufacturer.

Window Repair Services

Perkins Aircraft Services has developed many FAA approved procedures for repairing aircraft windows over the years. For example, we developed a proprietary process to repair Delamination in transparencies for pressurized aircraft. This alone can save the operator up to 75% of the replacement cost of that window. Delaminated glass and acrylic transparencies are repaired using a process involving just the right amount of heat and pressure. This complicated process facilitates the proper rebonding of the materials, which are then reassembled and inspected to ensure their integrity.

Quality Assurance

The quality standards at Perkins Aircraft Services far exceed those that are considered acceptable in the aviation industry. Detailed records are maintained throughout the repair and manufacturing processes, and our quality inspectors closely monitor all phases of the work performed by our highly skilled technicians. In addition, Perkins Aircraft Services' quality system is fully FAA approved and is ISO 9000 compliant.

On-Site Product Installation

Installation procedures for aircraft transparencies are both complicated and delicate. Most mechanics will attest to the fact that it is very easy to make a costly mistake when dealing with such delicate parts as transparencies. This is why Perkins Aircraft Services offers on-site installation of our products. Our crews of highly-trained A&P mechanics only work on windows, so they are more efficient and knowledgeable about the installation of these fragile parts of the airframe. If one of our installation crewmembers damages a $20,000 windshield of ours, we will supply a replacement at our own expense. How many independent A&P mechanics can make that kind of guarantee?
