FABRICATION OF A LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC MISSILE RADOME

摘要

Two filament-wound missile airframes were fabricated using a ratio of longitudinal to loop windings of 2 to 1.nThe only filament winding machine at Picatinny is a lathe-type machine that cannot produce longitudinal windings. Therefore a system was devised whereby hoop windings were wound on a large10-inch-diameter drum and subsequently cut into developed segments to produce longitudinal fibers.
