A practicable, molded-plastic, missile fuselage concept was successfully developed by the Hughes Aircraft Company utilizing a unique 'Quadrant Molding Process.' The primary objective of the development was demonstration of the feasibility of producing such a missile fuselage with inexpensive, glass fiber-reinforced, composite materials with fabrication methods capable of high production at a low cost. A realistic structural comparison was made between the quadrant molded composite fuselage and a conventional metallic structure. Comparative manufacturing costs were also established and indicated that the composite fuselage is the more cost effective for all production quantities. (Author)
