2. Aircraft fabric covering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fabric_covering

   Aircraft fabric covering is a term used for both the material used and the process of covering aircraft open structures. It is also used for reinforcing closed plywood structures. The de Havilland Mosquito is an example of this technique, as are the pioneering all-wood monocoque fuselages of certain World War I German aircraft like the LFG ...

3. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

   Fiberglass (American English) or fibreglass (Commonwealth English) is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber.The fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet called a chopped strand mat, or woven into glass cloth.

4. Aircraft dope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_dope

   Aircraft dope is a plasticised lacquer that is applied to fabric-covered aircraft. It tightens and stiffens fabric stretched over airframes, which renders them airtight and weatherproof, increasing their durability and lifespan. [1] [2] The technique has been commonly applied to both full-size and flying models of aircraft. [3] [4]

5. Radio-controlled aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aircraft

   A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...

6. Glass cloth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cloth

   However, the bi-directional strength of glass cloth has found utility in some fiberglass reinforced plastics. [3] The Rutan VariEze homebuilt aircraft uses a moldless glass-cloth/epoxy composite, which acts as a protective skin. Glass cloth is also commonly used as a reinforcing lattice for pre-pregs. [4]

7. Homebuilt aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebuilt_aircraft

   Composite material structures are made of cloth with a high tensile strength (usually fiberglass or carbon fiber, or occasionally Kevlar) combined with a structural plastic (usually epoxy, although vinylester is used in some aircraft). The fabric is saturated with the structural plastic in a liquid form; when the plastic cures and hardens, the ...
