Advanced Composites
Today's high performance all composite kit planes have come a long way since the early 80's when basic sandwich structures were introduced by Burt Rutan. Advanced Composites, by Cindy Forman follows that leap by describing modern materials and techniques which are now as common to aircraft homebuilders as to many military, business jet, and transport category craft. The characteristics and use of materials such as Kevlars, Ceramics, and honeycomb cores are covered in detail; as are techniques such as vacuum bagging, heat and pressure curing, and composite machining techniques. Some specific topics covered are choosing material for various strength and stress loads, lightning protection, painting composite parts, vacuum bagging techniques, drilling and working with cured composites, inspection and repair of damaged surfaces, etc... etc... This book is written for the builder or technician, not the engineer, and is full of practical technique clearly showing how to perform various operations required when working with these advanced materials.
