Aviation glass is a transparent structural material specifically used for aircraft cockpit covers, windshields, cabins, portholes, and other parts. It is crucial for flight safety and needs to meet a series of strict performance requirements.

 

Product Features:

Optical performance:

Aviation glass must have excellent optical performance, including low optical distortion and angular displacement, to ensure that pilots have a clear and undistorted field of view.

Strength and impact resistance: The compressive, impact, and bending strength of aviation glass is higher than that of ordinary organic glass, especially for directional plates, whose impact strength is more than twice that of ordinary organic glass plates.

Heat resistance: In order to meet the needs of high-speed flight of aircraft, aviation glass needs to ensure high mechanical properties at high temperatures.

Surface quality: The surface quality of aviation glass is strictly controlled to reduce dust and low boiling point substances in monomers, and avoid point defects.

Aging resistance: Ultraviolet absorbers are generally added to aviation glass to resist aging under long-term sunlight exposure.

Special requirements:

Before the new variety is put into use, a series of performance assessments and inspections such as fatigue, static, formability of parts, and edge connections must be conducted to ensure the reliability of installation.

Application area

Aviation glass is mainly used for:

Military aircraft: Used for cockpit covers, windshields, etc. of military aircraft, providing protection and clear visibility.

Civil aircraft: Cockpit covers, windshields, and portholes also used in civil aircraft to ensure flight safety and passenger comfort.

Other applications: including heat-resistant protective windshields for spacecraft, as well as protection for highly sensitive electronic components.

technological development

Significant progress has been made in technological innovation of aviation glass, including multi-layer laminated technology, bird strike resistant design, and the application of electric heating defrosting function, which have significantly improved flight safety and passenger comfort. In the future, the development of aviation glass will pay more attention to intelligence and sustainability, such as the application of intelligent dimming technology, and the research and development of recyclable or bio based aviation glass materials under the increasing environmental requirements.

Aviation glass is a high-performance and multifunctional key aviation material, and its technological development and market applications are constantly expanding to meet the growing demands of the aviation industry.
