Aircraft Transparency Testing Methodology and Evaluation Criteria. Part 2. Methodology Development for Improved Durability.
Abstract
This two-part report defines a methodology and criteria for testing and evaluating the durability of high performance aircraft transparencies through the use of simulated in-service environments. Part 1 presents and analyzes relevant information data on applicable operational environments, candidate test methods, and previously used simulation/testing techniques. Appropriate corrective action is recommended to circumvent knowledge voids and/or test method deficiencies. A realistic and cost-effective durability evaluation criteria is presented in Part 2 for monolithic stretched acrylic, coated monolithic polycarbonate, and acrylic faced/polycarbonate laminate configurations.
