Re: Gas gun tests
In the gas gun tests, fragment-simulating impactors (weighing 25 to 100 g) were launched at velocities up to 100 m/s into targets roughly 6 in. (15 cm) square. Views from the high-speed camera recordings for two of these tests are shown below tests. The energy absorbed is calculated from the change in velocity of the impactor.
1. 80 m/s impact into aircraft interior wall panel.... movie
2. Same velocity with Zylon fabric glued to impact side of panel.... movie
