  2. What is Glare? • GLARE is a new aerospace structural material composed of alternating, bonded layers of aluminum alloy and glass fiber reinforced plastic. • GLARE looks the same as aluminum sheeting, but it is constructed from layers. First a thin layer of aluminum, then a thin layer of strong fiberglass, and then another layer of aluminum. • The material thus obtained combines the properties of both the metal and the fiber. • The metal makes it possible to deform GLARE plastically, while the fibers give GLARE strength.

  3. GLARE • Post Impact Layered Aluminum Facesheets • Layered Aluminum Facesheets

  4. Advantages • GLARE is more fire resistive • GLARE is more resistant to damage • GLARE is less sensitive to metal fatigue. • GLARE is light in weight • Used in construction of panels • Used in Upper fuselage • Reduced about 500 Kg in weight

  5. Limitations • Its expensive • Not well known, hence restricting its use to the aerospace industry
