Technical white papers
-
While honeycomb core composites are used across aircraft interior applications for their low weight and high stiffness, efficient and consistent core splicing remains a major design challenge. This paper explores how honeycomb core splicing and finishing can be enhanced by controlling variables of the cure cycle.
-
While expanded foil wide area conductors have been successfully applied to fiber reinforced plastic skins for lightning strike protection, they incur a substantial weight penalty. This paper explores how very thin wide area foil conductors can help enable powerful lightning strike protection at a fraction of the weight.
-
Application of expanded foil-based lightning strike protection films to carbon fiber reinforced plastic aircraft skins has been attempted through automated fiber placement. However, the film material frequently has difficulty resisting dynamic forces encountered during application. This paper discusses a conductive lightning strike protection prepreg robust enough to survive AFP application.
