Dear ladies and gentlemen
Could somebody out there give me some details on how to actually fix (bond and clamp or just bond) a 5mm thick plexiglass windshield (simmilar shape and size as the EC135 windshields) to a composite fuselage structure of a two bladed helicopter.
1. What needs to be considered in terms of possible fuselage oscilations and the effect on the bonding/sealer? 2. Would a mechanical clamping in addition to a 5mm thick flexible sealer/bonding layer be of any advantage?
How do the professional manufacturers do it?
Thank you in advance.

The method that I have seen used many times is as follows: a rubber grommet of a given dia. is used in a hole that is larger then the fastening screw. the grommet thickness is greater then the windshield thickness and/or over-laps the windshield. the screw is then passed thru the windshield hole and thru the composite hole. a nylock nut is then placed on the screw. using flathead screws keeps the outer surface smooth. 字串8
Hope this helps!
