Innovent has been providing honeycomb inlet and exhaust vents for aircraft and launch vehicles for over 25 years

Honeycomb Vents

Our honeycomb vents typically have open area of 85%-95% allowing virtually unrestricted airflow, while providing EMI protection.

Unlike Aluminum EMI shields, Innovent vents are constructed from high temperature alloys such as 300 series stainless, Inconel, Hastelloy, and Titanium allowing for their use with hot and/or corrosive gasses. Honeycomb orientation can be normal to the surface or angled to provide directed flow as well as flow straightening.

Innovent’s experienced team works with our customers to optimize a solution that meets functionality, performance, and cost targets. Vents surfaces are fabricated and machined to match complex airframe contours. Innovent works with OEM approved supplier base for welding, brazing, heat treating, and finishing to provide complete components ready for airframe integration.
