Aircraft Battle Damage Repair of Transparencies

Abstract

Both induction heating and adhesive bonding techniques were used to perform rapid repairs on aircraft transparencies under 'field' conditions. Patches were applied on various plastic laminated materials and were tested both for air leak rate and structural durability (cockpit air pressure representing ground-air-ground cycles). Keywords: Aircraft canopy, Transparency, Fusion bonding, Adhesive bonding, Coatings, Induction heating.
