Evaluation of Windshield Materials Subjected to Simulated Supersonic Flight Environments.
Abstract
Candidate laminated and monolithic transparent plastic materials for aircraft windshields subjected to supersonic aerodynamic heating and pressure are evaluated by wind tunnel testing at realistic Mach numbers and altitudes for high performance aircraft. The reliability of the face-ply material is ascertained and the transparency optical effects are assessed during flight operating conditions and as a result of these conditions. (Author)
