Method for reducing radar cross-section of aircraft fasteners, and fastener assemblies for use therein |
摘要 |
Novel fastener assemblies self-conforming to contoured surface panels being fastened to support members and minimizing radar cross-section by providing a non-reflective surface shield component over the basic fastening component or bolt. The invention provides a method for reducing the amount of microwave radiation normally reflected back to its source by aircraft panel fasteners or bolts and/or by the recessed walls of bolt access openings at contoured surface areas. The invention comprises a novel fastener assembly of a threaded shield bolt engaged within a main fastening bolt, the shield bolt having a flexible, surface-conforming head of a metal alloy having high temperature stability properties.
