Materials Evaluation for Aircraft Blast and Helicopter Downwash Protection.

Abstract

This investigation was conducted to evaluate materials and develop construction techniques for the rapid protection of airfield and heliport shoulders and overrun areas against hot engine blast and rotor downwash with ground air velocities up to 125 mph using existing materials. The objective was accomplished by a series of jet engine exhaust blasts impinging on a number of treated test areas. (Author)
