Development of Thermal Protective Materials for Aircraft

Abstract

Abstract: Thermal protective materials are the important guarantee of aircraft which avoid burning out during flight for overheating. The working environment of thermal protective materials becomes worse for the high speed of aircraft, which sets a higher demand for the properties of thermal protective materials. In addition to ablative energy, mechanical properties are also the focus of research. Since the 1950s, further research on thermal protective materials has been carried out at home and abroad. According to different aerodynamic conditions, a variety of thermal protective materials have been developed. At present, thermal protective materials include metal, ceramics, and resin matrix composites. In this paper, the types, properties, and application status of thermal protective materials are reviewed, and the development prospect is also proposed.

Key words: thermal protective material, composite material, refractory metal, ablative resistance, mechanical property
