Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) Structural Components Investigation.

Abstract

The mechanical properties of the open-weave filament-wound material called 'Spacewind' were evaluated both analytically and experimentally. As a demonstration of the feasibility of using Spacewind, the body and wing for the AQUILA remotely piloted vehicle were designed, fabricated, tested, and proven successful. (Author)
