Composite material aircrafts are protected against lightning on the basis of complex and expansive lightning strike experimental plans aiming at designing optimal protections.
Due to complications with the composite materials aircraft weight had increased significantly to 30% over design specification.
Besides, the influences of the arrestor height, material strength, aircraft weight and the radius of aircraft wheel on the arresting performance of polyurethane foam material were performed, indicating that a reasonable parametric selection is extremely crucial to obtain the optimal design for the aircraft arresting system.
Therefore, the developed composite can be considered as a potential candidate for a lightning strike protection material in aircraft industry and other applications.
Ti2AlNb has excellent properties such as high specific strength and fracture toughness as well as good creep resistance, so that it exhibits potential as high temperature structural material for aircraft and aerospace applications.
In structural applications, the combination of high flexural rigidity, thermal stability, thermal conductivity and low density (1.85 times that of water) make beryllium metal a desirable aerospace material for aircraft components, missiles, spacecraft, and satellites.
The paper focuses on a novel strategy for the rapid identification of the orthotropic diffusion properties of RTM textile composite materials for aircraft applications.
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been developed as ultrahigh temperature resistant materials for aircraft, space vehicles and other engineering applications.
In addition, the growing tendency of aeronautical engineering to incorporate advanced composite materials in aircraft structures suggests carbon nanotube reinforced composites as ideal materials for high-performance fuselage panels.
It is thus proposed for applications that range from lightweight materials for aircraft to touch-screens for computers.
