HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT WINDSHIELD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
Abstract
The results of the six phases of activity studied are reported. Work previously performed has been expanded upon in several of these phases: Optical Considerations; Thermal Sensing of Glass Surfaces, Deep Forming of Simple Contours, Dynamic Impact, Feasibility-Edge Bonding, and Application-Edge Bonding. Thermal expansions from aerodynamic heating indicate the need for selection of an edge material whose coefficient of thermal expansion is compatible with the glass and airframe. High strength and good elongation characteristics are required in the edge material as well, in order to make use of the high strength properties of the glass.
