Windshield Technology Demonstrator Program-Canopy Detail Design Options Study.
Abstract
This report documents the work accomplished for the Windshield Technology Demonstrator Program. The studies, analyses, testing, and development accomplished during this program involved a total system approach required for aircraft canopies in the context of the continuing Air Force generic windshield development programs. State-of-the-art applications of new transparency materials have been devised from both military and commercial aircraft with major attention directed to the topics of bird impact resistance, structural design integration, systems integration, and design for maintainability and reliability. The authors and Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory (FEW) agree that the various disciplines and essential technical design concepts represented, including associated reports noted in Section IV, should all be utilized in arriving at an optimum design of the canopy system for any production aircraft.
