Fibrereinforced thermoplastic composites produced by melting
resins and combining them with re-inforcing fibres under high
pressure in a mold, are another promising new area. Tests have
shown these composites to be highly resistant to damage,able
to be reshaped and quickly fabricated. Compared to carbon
epoxy, fibre-reinforced thermoplastics are equal in density,
equivalent in strength and part production may be less expensive.
The USAF and several other air arms, material suppliers and a
multitude of contractors are developing thermoplastic composites.
