  • Rechargeable composite ply applicator
    Patent number: 7163654
    Abstract: An apparatus for the application of aerospace composite laminates 10 is provided, including a non-contaminating outer layer 24 and an insulated base 12. The present invention further includes a constant temperature heating element 22 positioned between the non-contaminating outer layer 24 and the insulated base 12. A battery pack 32 is positioned within the insulated base 12 to power the constant temperature heating element 22. The present invention can further include an ergonomic element 34 mounted to the insulated base 12 to facilitate handling of the apparatus 10 for the application of aerospace composite laminates.

  • Monolithic composite firewall
    Patent number: 6863980
    Abstract: A ceramic fabric and a resin are combined to form a fire protection sheet capable of being co-cured onto a parent laminate structure. The resulting monolithic composite firewall shows fire protection ability comparable to that of the conventional titanium structure, without the problems associated therewith, such as titanium panel separation and disbonding. The fire protection sheet easily conforms to the shape of the parent laminate and is also useful as a repair material for damaged conventionally protected firewalls.
