STRUCTURAL FABRIC PROGRAM

Abstract

A program, as related to aerospace applications was initiated to provide a means of manufacturing large low-density AIRMAT structures made of metallic cloth and yarns capable of small volume packaging. This effort encompasses an industrial survey of loom manufacturers, a study of process variables and the selection of a textile consultant. Efforts were directed toward the development of a loom procurement specification and the actual procurement of a loom capable of producing a low density AIRMAT in the order of 10 toospace applications was initiated to provide a means of manufacturing large low-density AIRMAT structures made of metallic cloth and yarns capable of small volume packaging. This effort encompasses an industrial survey of loom manufacturers, a study of process variables and 20 ft wide with a maximum depth of 8 ft. (Author)
