Reduce Maintenance Expenses on Out of Service Helicopters
Our Helicopter Preservation Kits and Aircraft Preservation Kits offer a packaging solution that reduces the overall cost of maintaining an out-of-service helicopter. Our kits create a completely controlled environment around the aircraft. This mothballing or cocooning process starts with unique, flexible moisture barrier films designed to prevent even minimal exposure of humidity to the aircraft, its engine, and electrical parts. This process ensures no corrosion for a minimum of three years. The cost to provide this long term corrosion prevention solution is much more cost effective than an expensive climate controlled environment warehouse or hanger. The entire application process can be completed in less than a day.
We also offer on-site installation services and training. Our team of protective packaging professionals will travel to your location and custom-package your aircraft for you, or teach your technicians the correct procedures.
Kits contain:
- Desiccant
- Moisture barrier material
- Shrink film
- Shrink tape

Helicopter Preservation Projects
EC225 Helicopter Preservation
Any aircraft taken out of service can be packaged using cost-effective desiccants and barrier materials. Several companies have contacted Protective Packaging Corporation for assistance in mothballing EC225 (H225) and AS332 helicopters that have been grounded for mechanical reasons.
Military Helicopter Packaging
Our team of packaging experts have worked closely with military installations to preserve helicopters stored outdoors. Here are images of Cobra, Huey and VF 22 helicopters being packaged for short term storage.
Helicopter Engine Packaging
We also offer packaging solutions for engines in a can. Our packaging methodology is modified to fit a smaller scale and works in conjunction with a rigid case.
