SST Technology Follow-On Program-Phase I. Evaluation of Pressure and Weather Sealants.

Abstract

A total of 27 candidates for pressure and weather sealing of the U.S.A. supersonic transport were exposed to various environments, and effects on their physical properties were determined. Only four of these sealants were found worthy of continued long-term testing. Two of the sealants were selected for use: one for filleting and another for faying surface, prepacks, and injections. Deficiencies in adhesion and excessive thermal expansion were recognized ans were unresolved problems. A preliminary specification for control of purchase of the sealants has been prepared. (Author)
