Specification describes material for use in forming fibre reinforced structures comprising longitudinally extending fibre reinforcing material having a thermoplastics resin intimately associated therewith along the length thereof. The thermo-plastics resin may be formed as a coating along the length of the fibre and/or as part of a composite fibre. The coating may be applied to the fibre by passing the fibre through an extrusion press or bath of molten thermo-plastics material. The material so formed may be used to form fabric by weaving, knitting or the like or may be used directly subsequent to being chopped into short lengths. Layers of the fabric may be laminated by stitching with lengths of thermoplastics coated fibre. Various structures for use in the aircraft industry, and the methods of making those structures from the material, e.g. by moulding, are described. <IMAGE> |
