Aerospace Applications Marine Composites Figure 1-52 Twin Beam Composite Blade for XBRTM Helicopter Rotor System [Salkind, New Composite Helicopter Rotor Concepts] Experimental Voyager Nearly 90% of theVOYAGERaircraft was made of carbon fiber composites. The strength-to- weight ratio of this material allowed the vehicle to carry sufficient fuel to circle the globe without refueling. The plane’s designer and builder, Burt Rutan, is renowned for building innovative aircraft using composites. He has also designed an Advanced Technology Tactical Transport of composites and built the wing sail that was fitted to the 60 foot catamaran used in the last America’s Cup defense. Daedalus The GOSSAMER CONDORand GOSSAMER ALBATROScSaught people’s imagination by being the first two human-powered aircraft to capture prize money that was unclaimed for 18 years. These aircraft were constructed of aluminum tubes and mylar wings supported by steel cable. The aerodynamic drag of the cabling proved to be the factor limiting flight endurance. The DAEDALUSproject’s goal was to fly 72 miles from Crete to Santorini. By hand constructing graphite spars over aluminum mandrels, the vehicle’s drag was minimized aonvdetrhaell aircraft structure was reduced to 68 pounds, which made this endurance record possible. 61PDF Image | Marine Componsites
