Collins Q-Tech

Collins Q-Tech sound absorbing metamaterial is a replacement for traditional honeycomb-core panels that improves overall sound absorption as well as the range of frequencies able to be absorbed.

• Made of highly flexible interconnected bulb arrays, Q-Tech sound absorbing metamaterial has been shown to reduce noise transmission by 10x when compared to a standard double-wall panel.  
• Configurable to target specific noise frequencies, Q-Tech sound absorbing metamaterial can be strategically configured and placed in multiple applications to mitigate specific problem noises – including within head rests, sidewalls, seats, monuments, galley equipment and air management systems.  
• Q-Tech sound absorbing metamaterial is made of thermoplastic materials, making operations more sustainable and allowing for a simple recycling program at time of replacement.
