Preliminary Review of Biocomposites Materials for Aircraft Radome Application
An aircraft radome usually refer to radar transparent, dome-shape structures which protects radar antennas on aircraft from aerodynamic loading, weather as well as impacts from bird strikes. Materials that are used for small aircraft radome usually have low dielectric constant and high toughness....

| description | An aircraft radome usually refer to radar transparent, dome-shape structures which
protects radar antennas on aircraft from aerodynamic loading, weather as well as impacts from bird
strikes. Materials that are used for small aircraft radome usually have low dielectric constant and
high toughness. Current composite material using high strength fibers such as glass fiber, carbon
and aramid are commonly used in aerospace structures. However, the need for biodegradable
materials has prompted the usage of natural fibers. Natural fibers have comparable mechanical
properties such as low weight, low cost, renewable and biodegradable. In this preliminary work,
comprehensive reviews of biocomposites materials are discussed in term of their properties for the
purpose of evaluation for aircraft radome application. The present review will cover five local
natural fibers namely bamboo, banana, kenaf, oil palm and pineapple leaf fiber. |
