Research to develop a molding technology for producing aircraft interior furnishings with new flame retardant composites is nearing completion. The current system of fabricated cabinets tend to be heavy and marginal relative to meeting FAA flammability requirements. The Institute for Aviation Research, Wichita State University, with sponsorship from Precision Pattern Incorporated, has developed the science of resin formulation fiber preform and core sandwich molding construction. A big issue was to develop the new molding technology with materials which would meet the new 1990 FAA regulations. While this development will center on the molding of a cabinet for a particular application, the results of the study will have application for many other interior aircraft parts.
