Description of  Coated and Laminated Textiles for Aerostats and Airships: Material Challenges and Technology

This book covers material challenges and technology innovation in coated and laminated textiles for aerostat and airship. Aerostats/airships are lighter-than-air (LTA) aircraft which are generally used in defense applications and face many harsh environmental conditions. For sustaining such conditions, special requirements are there for the material to be used in aerostat/airship which generally includes a multi-layered coated/laminated textile using a textile fabric in base layer and different polymers for coating/lamination. Therefore, this book covers typical materials developed by different countries, challenges for developing material for aerostat/airship envelope and the future scope. Read more
