ANTIREFLECTING SKIN OF FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: flying vehicles. SUBSTANCE: antireflecting skin of flying vehicle is manufactured in the form of interconnected cells 2. Each cell is made in the form of hexahedral prism and ends with recession in the shape of paraboloid. Length of side of cell amounts to 3/4 of total depth of cell. Insides of cells are polished and are closed on top hermetically with one smooth shell I produced from radioparent material - glass cloth with binding ingredient on basis of polyamide resins. Connection of paraboloid with cell is accomplished thanks to the fact that thickness of its wall is thinner by a factor of 2-4 of wall of cell. EFFECT: reduced effective area of scattering of flying vehicle in visible optical and infrared radiations and within range of electromagnetic radiations, reduced weight of skin and improved thermal protection under effects of aerodynamic heating. 3 cl, 2 dwg
