Abstract

Ballistic resistant composites and articles formed therefrom for use in airplanes and other vehicles which meets particular structural, impact and ballistic requirements. An aerospace-specification grade honeycomb is positioned between panels comprising non-woven ballistic resistant fibrous layers, and optionally one or more fire resistant layers. The composites and the articles formed therefrom have superior structural, impact, fire resistance and ballistic performance at a light weight.
