Comet tank

The first structural use of these adhesives was to bond friction material to steel in the clutches for Cromwell and Churchill tanks. Many metal-to-metal Aerospace applications followed in both military (Sea Hornet, F7 Cutlass, SAAB Draken) and civil (DH Dove, DH Comet, Fokker F27 to FI 00) aircraft. Indeed, today, they are still used in such aircrafts as the RJ 80 and the BAE SYSTEMS Hawk trainer. 

Of course, it must be underlined here that appUcarimis in space are not at aU Umited to thermal insulation. Indeed, silica aerogels can be applied to collect aerosol particles [129], to protect space mirrors, or to design tank trifles [130, 131]. The appUcarimis in space were reviewed by Jones [132] (Part XI). The most recent project. Stardust, successfully returned to earth in January 2006. This mission provided samples of a recently deflected comet named Wild-2, which are being examined in various laboratories all over the world. 

There is nothing uncommon about the equipment components used in the semi-aqueous process. They are the pumps, filters, tanks with cove comets, spray nozzles, etc., noted as "Best" in Chapter 7 " of Ref. 1. The image of Figure 3.9 shows one such apparatus in which that process is practiced.
