AIRCRAFT PLYWOOD

Aircraft plywood

Aircraft plywood, also called airplane plywood, is the top grade durable plywood. As the name indicates, aircraft plywood were used for aircraft construction through World War ll.

Aircraft plywood can be very thin birch plywood or hardwood plywood. The thinnest general plywood may be as thin as 1.8mm.But aircraft plywood can be 1mm thin. The face veneers and inner plies for aircraft plywood are free of open defects. However ,tiny sound tight knots are allowed in the face plies. Gaps and voids are not allowed in core layers. Usually the back veneers are a little worse than the face veneers because a few tiny defects are allowed in the back veneers can be the same good grade as face veneers.

The adhesives used in the manufacture of aircraft plywood shall be WBP phenol  formaldehyde, WBP melamine formaldehyde, which are thermosetting glues. The species for producing aircraft plywood are birch, mahogany, hard maple, beech , walnut, douglas fir and so on.

Aircraft plywood are durable, strong and lightweight. Aircraft plywood can be used in the manufacturing of aircraft, boats, furniture, model airplanes, model boats, musical instruments , toys and wooden crafts.
