  • Structural foam is a crucial element in
    aircraft manufacturing.
  • It's used to create the parts that hold
    together the body of an aircraft, and it also
    helps to insulate against temperature changes.
    This material is especially important in
    airplanes because it allows for greater weight
    capacity and lower fuel consumption.

  • This composite material was first developed by
    NASA in order to improve safety for astronauts
    flying in space. During the early 1960s, there
    were many experiments conducted with rockets that
    required people to go into space for long periods
    of time without any protection from things like
    radiation or micrometeorites (tiny pieces of
    debris). In order for these astronauts to
    survive, it became necessary for them to have a
    suit that would protect them from these dangers
    while still allowing them freedom of movement so
    they could do their jobs inside the spacecraft.

  • Aircraft structural foam is created through
    the use of polyurethane or polystyrene, which are
    both strong, lightweight plastics. The process of
    manufacturing aircraft structural foam starts
    with mixing these two materials together into a
    liquid form so that they can be poured into
    molds. Once the molds have been filled, they're
    heated until the liquid turns into solid foam.
    Once it's cooled down again, the molds are opened
    up and removed from their position within the
    machine.

5
  • Structural foam is a polyurethane composite
    that is used in the construction of aircraft. It
    can be used to coat the wings and fuselage of an
    airplane in order to prevent damage to these
    important parts. Structural foam is also used in
    the construction of boats and submarines because
    it provides insulation, support and buoyancy.

6
  • The major purpose of aircraft structural foam
    is to protect the airframe from damage while
    flying at high speeds. The material is molded
    into different shapes to fit specific areas on an
    airplane's body. This is done by using a special
    machine known as an injection molder. The machine
    will inject plastic into a mold and cure it under
    intense heat until it becomes solid.
