TriStar played a crucial role in extending the operational life of the U.S. military's C-5 Galaxy aircraft by developing a new seal for the mid-wing joint, a critical component for maintaining the aircraft's structural integrity. The original foam insulation, essential for preventing corrosion, became unavailable, prompting TriStar to engineer a bondable elastomer seal that could withstand extreme temperatures, resist abrasion, and remain flexible during flight.
