The Fabrication and Testing of Prototype UH-1 Aircraft Windshields Manufactured with a Sheet Interlayer.

Abstract

This report describes the fabrication and testing of four sets of full-size UH-1 helicopter windshields, two each of two different constructions. The primary purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility of using a specified urethane interlayer in sheet form as the adhesive layer between the glass and plastic plies of the composites. A fabrication process was established which describes the step-by-step procedures used. Tests on the completed composites were conducted to determine their ability to withstand thermal stress while subjected to simulated in-flight loading. (Author-PL).
