Development of a Frangible Approach Light

Abstract

This document describes the effort expended by Connecticut International Corporation in Fullfillment of Contract DOT-FA-75WA-3610 to develop a lightweight, frangible approach light housing. The program demonstrated that the goal of frangibility was not achievable as initially concepted. However, significant progress has been made in the state of the art relative to housings which are lightweight, suitable for the visual aid purpose intended, and with a substantial measure of frangibility.
