DSX Benefits
- DSX has proven itself to be far superior to other rotor blade erosion coatings like Task L-100, Hontek, and blades tapes like 3M, Bell, Airbus, and MD Helicopters.
- DSX offers the owners/operators peace of mind that the most important part of the blade (the spar) is safe and protected.
- DSX has protected agriculture, military, personnel, firefighting, and government agenciesblades for more than 10 years.
- DSX can provide fuel savings over time due to maintaining the perfect airfoil.
- DSX will NOT fly off during operation like some blade tapes and other blade coatings.
- DSX will not melt and become gummy during extreme heat.
- DSX has proven to be outstanding by withstanding light to medium foreign object debris(FOD).
- DSX will not degrade with excess exposure to ultraviolet rays (UV), like other polyurethane tapes and coatings will.
- DSX will NOT degrade over time, DSX becomes better with time. DSX will ware very evenly, this will ensure that the airfoil is always kept perfect.
- DSX has proven itself to last in excess of 3000 operating hours, unlike blade tapes that will only last on average 25 to 50 hours of operation. If DSX was applied to a new 206 series helicopters rotor blade, the DSX coating would last the life of the blade.
- DSX could allow the aircraft to have longer operational time between routine maintenance for rotor blades.
- DSX could provide less stress on the engine by maintaining the perfect airfoil for extended hours of operation.
- Less AOG time due to main rotor blade maintenance.
