The resin transfer moulding (RTM) process has been the subject of a great deal of practical and theoretical development for aerospace applications since the early 1980s. This article looks at the very early developments of RTM in an aerospace setting. This development took place over a few years at the start of the 1950s. By 1956 almost all the features of RTM for aerospace applications had been introduced in a series of six patents. This achievement was made without any of the theoretical infrastructure now considered critical and was the work of a small group within a single company. The developed technology dropped from view in the general aerospace composites community and had to be redeveloped 25 years after the last patent was applied for.
