Alarin Aircraft Hinge manufactures aircraft hinges that have broad interior and exterior applications in commercial and military aircraft. These applications range from flight critical to common functionality. Within a prime manufacturer's range of commercial aircraft, for example, you may find an Alarin hinge manufactured from aluminum bronze assisting with elevator motion, a hinge manufactured from stainless steel on the air exhaust system or cargo door or aluminum MS hinges manufactured by Alarin with a line-grain finish complementing the design of an interior galley system. The same is true for a wide variety of military aircraft.
