Description
The .500FIBERFRAX is a genuine Textron Aviation felt-material part supplied for the Cessna Citation III, VI, and VII. Fiberfrax is a well-known ceramic-fiber product line used for high-temperature thermal insulation and fire barriers, and the leading ".500" indicates a nominal 0.5-inch thickness; material of this type is commonly used to insulate hot zones and protect surrounding structure, with the specific installation defined by the aircraft's maintenance data. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
As an original-equipment (OEM) material supplied directly by Textron Aviation, the .500FIBERFRAX is cut and specified to Cessna's requirement for thickness, density, and thermal performance, and cross-references the aircraft's type design as documented. For thermal-insulation materials, using the genuine specified part matters — heat rating and fit are engineered values, not something a generic substitute can be assumed to meet.
The Citation III, VI, and VII make up Cessna's Model 650 mid-size business-jet series, faster and longer-legged than the CitationJets and built for transcontinental owner and charter operations. Consumable and material parts like this insulation are common across the 650 series as maintenance items.
These jets are built by Textron Aviation, whose Citation family traces to the Cessna Aircraft Company, founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and acquired by Textron Inc. in 1992. Request a quote for .500FIBERFRAX or browse more Cessna Citation III, VI, and VII parts on Flying411.
