THE recent arrival of the Beagle-Miles M.218 light aircraft and the Rolls-Royce RB.I62 lightweight lift engine has served as a further reminder of the growing importance of plastics materials to the aircraft industry. The RB.162 makes extensive use of glass fibre reinforced plastics for intake, compressor guide vanes, compressor and stator blading and compressor casing, while the M.218 has a surface area which is 62½ per cent glass fibre reinforced plastics and 5 per cent acrylic plastics.
