How does fibre metal laminate (FML) contribute to enhanced structural performance in aircraft? (3 marks)
--- 7 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---
→ FML offers several advantages over traditional aluminium alloys in aircraft construction.
→ Its key benefits include enhanced impact and fatigue resistance, better corrosion protection, and reduced weight.
→ The material’s strength comes from its directional layered construction, which can be customised for specific aircraft sections.
→ This ability to tailor FML’s properties during manufacturing makes it adaptable for various aircraft applications.
