The Young Engineers has recently partnered with the product design development firm Applied Concepts Aircraft Solutions, Inc. of Stuart, Florida on the development of two new patented products: the Loret Isolator Insert™ and the Loret Latches™. The former is a unique insert that incorporates an elastomeric isolation device into a panel fastener, providing an alternative method for dampening structure in aircraft interiors, while also reducing part count, weight, and installation costs. The latter incorporates a unique actuation device that allows the latch to be highly customizable. They are available in several select designs, or can be custom designed to your specifications, and are available in paddle, push button and rocker styles. See New Products for additional details or Contact Us for additional details.
