Application of High Temperature Composites to an Aircraft Component.

Abstract

This program was intended to the initial phase of a multiphase program to investigate the use of advanced composite materials on a high temperature aircraft primary structural element. The initial phase covered by this report was to include the design and analysis of two canard structures, one constructed primarily of boron/aluminum, the other primarily of graphite/polyimide. Both designs were then to be compared for weight saving, cost, and technical risk. (Author, modified-PL)
