2.  GLARE is a new aerospace structural material composed of
alternating, bonded layers of aluminum alloy and glass fiber
reinforced plastic.
 GLARE looks the same as aluminum sheeting, but it is constructed
from layers. First a thin layer of aluminum, then a thin layer of
strong fiberglass, and then another layer of aluminum.
 The material thus obtained combines the properties of both the
metal and the fiber.
 The metal makes it possible to deform GLARE plastically, while
the fibers give GLARE strength.

4.  GLARE is more fire resistive
 GLARE is more resistant to damage
 GLARE is less sensitive to metal fatigue.
 GLARE is light in weight
• Used in construction of panels
• Used in Upper fuselage
• Reduced about 500 Kg in weight
