Research abstract
Triton Systems Inc addresses the Air Force¡¦s need to develop a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) which can dramatically reduce the time to repair damage to low observable structures on the outer mold line (OML) of aircraft. The PSA will provide a continuous service temperature from -65oF to 250„aF, support -3G to +9G maneuver loads, and resist jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, lube oils, and de-ice fluid. Based on the molecular design and the fundamental chemistry, Triton¡¦s team will formulate its new PSA meeting the Air Force¡¦s PSA requirements. BENEFIT: Repairing Low Observable coverings on the F-22 is extremely time consuming. Reducing the time to repair the outer mold line structures with an easy-to-use pressure sensitive adhesive can result in dramatic cost savings, as well as improving the tooth-to-tail ratio of this platform. This may be carried over directly to other military platforms such as the F-35 JSF, and may have indirect applications for commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
