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. These designs and materials meet or exceed the requirements of the explosive event defined in the referenced NPRM. |
