STRUCTURAL FABRIC PROGRAM

Abstract

The purpose of this program, as related to aerospace application, is to provide a means of manufacturing large low-density AIRMAT structures made of metallic cloth and yarns capable of small volume packaging. The design AND FABRICATION OF THE LOOM CONTINUED AND DESIGN OF THE HORIZONTAL TAKE-OFF MECHANISM WAS INITIATED. 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 feet wide with a maximum depth of 8 feet.
