This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Composite (epoxy/fiber) rear helicopter fuselages may soon be easier to repair, according to a study for U.S. Army Aviation Research and Development Command. The combination of modular design with patch-kit and mechanical field-repair methods requires no extensive training and reduces the repair costs of the most common types of fuselage damage. In addition to general-purpose patch kits commonly used for automobile and marine body work, helicopter field-repair stations would also stock specialized patches tailored for specific fuselage sections. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Detailed information about the technology described may be obtained by ordering the NTIS report, order number: AD-A087609, price code: A06 or contact project officer Thomas E. Condon (804) 878-5620.
