The Boeing Company collaborated with the University of California (UC) at Berkeley and SRI International to investigate lightweight ballistic protection of commercial aircraft from engine fragments. Boeing's role in this task was to perform material property tests on Zylon (Registered trademark) fabric after exposure to selected environments that are likely to be encountered in a commercial airplane environment. This report (Part 3) describes the work performed and the results obtained by Boeing. Separate parts of this report describe the UC Berkley and SRI International results.
