BALLISTIC RESISTANT FLIGHT DECK DOOR AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A flight deck door for an aircraft that is both ballistic resistant and intruder proof. The flight deck door includes a laminated ballistic resistant material which can also provide intruder resistant properties. The ballistic resistant or armor material can be laminated onto a core to provide additional rigidity to the flight deck door. The core also increases the rigidity of the flight deck door and increases intruder resistance. Also sound dampening layers may be added to the door.
