New Materials

Abstract

Brief Particulars of Recently Introduced Materials likely to have Aircraft, Missile or Space Vehicle Applications. The increasing use of V/S.T.O.L. aircraft by defence forces means that a way had to be found to build airstrips as rapidly as possible, and following earlier work it was decided by the Ministry of Defence to look at the possibility of prefabricating runways.
