TODAY, wood makes as important a contribution to the aircraft industry as before. In the United Kingdom and abroad leading designers and aircraft manufacturers have turned to wood laminates for particular applications in aircraft, hovercraft and helicopter manufacture. Earlier this year it was stated by the British Aircraft Corporation, co-designers with Sud-Aviation of the Concorde SST, that the flooring would be manufactured in a balsa wood laminate.
