EROSION RESISTANT FILMS FOR USE ON HEATED AERODYNAMIC SURFACES

摘要

The present invention relates to an erosion resistant construction comprising an element of an aircraft comprising an aircraft skin segment having an external surface, and a deicing mechanism associated with said aircraft skin segment capable of heating said external surface to temperatures in excess of 65°C, a tape comprising at least one layer comprising a crosslinked elastomeric polymer, and an adhesive layer, wherein the tape is bonded to the external surface of the aircraft skin segment by the adhesive layer.
