Plastics for Aerospace Vehicles. Part 2. Transparent Glazing Materials. Revision

摘要

This handbook was prepared for the Air Force to provide information for the selection of transparent glazing materials and the factors to be considered in their installation and use in military aircraft. The Information on this handbook includes and augments the contents of the previous revision by expanding the data to embrace the more recent material innovations and design complexities. The format treats the facets of transparent enclosure design in a sequence which starts with material properties and logically progresses to the ultimate composites complete with edge attachments. Explanations are interspersed which provide an understanding of various, and possibly unfamiliar, technical disciplines which have become more apparent as the sophistication of aircraft design and mission increases.
