STRUCTURAL FABRIC PROGRAM
Abstract
Research continued toward the development of a means of manufacturing large low-density Airmat structures made of metallic cloth and yarns capable of small volume packaging. The basic design of the loom was established and the loom specification was completed. The major portion of the work was devoted to the pile yarn extension and contouring mechanism. In addition, investigations were made of wire weaving techniques used by outside manufacturers. These efforts are 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 20 ft wide with a maximum depth of 8 ft.
