Major General (Engineering Sciences) A. Twaanov wrote in Sovietskays avia,taiya, 25 May 195C, of the use of synthetic materials in aircraft con. atruction. Brief comments were and? about the TO-104, TW-114, IL-1S, and AN-10. According to the anther, these materials may be used in the form of glass fibers made into a foam plastic for structural strength or a glass textolite for soft fuel tanks. Other items mediti.,:nei included perspex for aircraft windows, the use of synthetic glues for bonding metal to metal or non-metallic materials to metal, r.d epoxide a synthetic resin for metal coating. 2.
