Air Force tests modified polyester system for front line vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft landing sites; dust and debris from operating VTOL aircraft can obscure pilot's vision, reveal position to enemy, cause structural damage, and be ingested into engine and cause failure; required landing site preparation material must harden quickly, resist jet engine blasts of 1300 to 3000 F, be inexpensive and nontoxic, and be easily applied; modified polyester resin hardens in 15 min after addition of catalyst.
