Development of Thermally Durable Coated Fabrics for Use in Flight Gloves.
Abstract
The flight gloves currently supplied to Air Force flight crew members provide softness, tactile response, gripping power and durability, but in contact with flame or in heated environments, their leather burns, shrinks violently, and becomes stiff and brittle. Because of potential danger, an effort is reported to develop materials with mechanical performance characteristics similar to those of leather, but which are flameproof and thermally stable.
