Aircraft Battle Damage Repair of Transparencies

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA224168 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Both induction heating and adhesive bonding techniques were used to perform rapid repairs on aircraft transparencies under field conditions. Patches were applied on various plastic laminated materials and were tested both for air leak rate and structural durability cockpit air pressure representing ground-air-ground cycles. Keywords Aircraft canopy, Transparency, Fusion bonding, Adhesive bonding, Coatings, Induction heating.
