The first composite shells were made from a form of papier-mâché and became popular in the 1870s.

But to reduce hydro-dynamic drag, they reduced hull weight by forming a composite shell of wooden planks over an alloy metal frame.

Nothing happened, but the engineer had the feeling that somehow the ceramic composite shell had fragmented before it reached the target.

The wings and tail are aluminum alloy construction with a steel tube fuselage covered with composite shells.

It is made from a welded steel fuselage with aluminum ribs and a composite shell.

Super lightweight Kevlar/ Carbon Fiber/ Fiberglass composite shell ?

The development of modern brachiopods includes a progression from all-organic to mineral-organic composite shells, which may be a clue to their evolutionary development.

This demolition charge surrounds a smaller composite shell, which surrounds another layer of sensors, which can also trigger the demolition charge.

Beneath its carbon fiber composite shell are two microprocessors that receive data from a string of sensors at a rate of 50 times a second.

Recently, Kolatan and Mac Donald submitted one of their curved composite shells to a "bend test" at the Columbia engineering school.
