Abstract: A ballistic resistant and explosive protective system for an aircraft. The ballistic resistant and explosive system includes a first composite panel. The first composite panel includes a first layer and second layer formed of a fiber-reinforced plastic material, and a ballistic resistant laminate core layer formed between the first layer and the second layer. The first composite panel is configured to be installed at an interior of the aircraft.

Abstract: A ballistic resistant and explosive protective system for an aircraft. The system may include a plurality of composite panels. Each composite panel may include a first layer and second layer formed of a fiber-reinforced plastic material, and a ballistic resistant laminate core layer formed between the first layer and the second layer. The composite panels may be integrally combined and installed at an interior of the aircraft.

Abstract: Invention includes the concept and design necessary to protect transport aircraft from catastrophic failure as the result of an on board explosive or ballistic event. Concept is to protect the flight operation personnel and flight control systems from inoperable damage resulting from an on-board event defined by the FAA NPRM Docket Number 2006-26722, Notice Number 06-09 and subsequent FAA NPRM filings. Concept uses aircraft interior linings, bulkheads, interior components and commodities to shield and protect the cockpit and fight control systems from operating failure caused by an on-board explosive or ballistic event. The linings, commodities and bulkheads will be redesigned and replace existing linings and bulkheads using a combination of newly designed and developed composite ballistic materials and designs, including high strength reinforced fiber sheets with ballistic resistant core materials.
