Glare technology development 1997-2000

Fibre Metal Laminates (e.g., Glare) are composed of a bonded structure of metallic layers and fibre reinforced adhesive layers and were developed by laboratory testing and design during the last fifteen years. The Glare Technology Development (GTO) has been aiming at final technology readiness for application in aircraft design, production and service. The current paper gives an overview of the work that was done in this large project.
