PAPER PLASTICE
BETTER THAN ALUMINIUM USED FOR AEROPLANE PARTS Laminated paper plastic aeroplane parts are claimed to resist wear better than aluminium. The St. Louis Mi'Donnel Aircraft Corporation (U.S.A.) is making paper wing-tips, rudders, elevators and ailerons. Sheets of paper like brown, paper wrappings are impregnated with plienoformaldehyde, then moulded under pressure. The wing-tips are lighter and 40 per cent stronger than aluminium, and have withstood a weight test of 28001b. The smoother surface eliminates coating and finishing processes, and has greater resistance to abrasion and denting than aluminium.
