IN the February 1956 issue of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING the Editor put forward the suggestion that the pressure cabins of civil aircraft might with advantage be made of reinforced plastics instead of aluminium alloy. He had in mind recent difficulties encountered in pressure cabin design, especially those arising from metal fatigue, or revealed as a result of fatigue investigations. Plastic materials, maintains the editor, may well lend themselves to pressure cabin construction and provide a means of overcoming many of the current difficulties of design.
