Blastworthy textile-based luggage containers for aviation safety (FLY-BAG)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"The rise in worldwide terrorism has required measures be taken to harden aircraft against catastrophic in-flight failure due to concealed explosives. Commercial aviation can be protected from the threat of explosives by : 1. preventing explosives from reaching the aircraft 2. mitigating the effects of an explosive protecting the aircraft from an onboard explosion. The risk that a small quantity ...
