Why EMI Shielding is More Critical Than Ever

Modern aircraft are packed with electronics—from cockpit avionics to in-flight entertainment and wireless communication systems. While these innovations enhance passenger experience and operational safety, they also increase vulnerability to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Without effective shielding, EMI can disrupt electronic systems, impair communication between pilots and control towers, or even compromise navigation and flight safety. As such, EMI shielding is no longer an optional add-on; it is now an essential safety feature.

The demand is further reinforced by global regulatory frameworks that set strict electromagnetic compliance requirements for aircraft manufacturers and operators.
