Global Nanospace in Arlington, Texas, has a thin, anti-ballistic material woven from plastic fibers that offer half the weight and twice the strength of products made by the company's competitors. So far, U.S. Global has found its way into armor for military Humvees and bomb defusing units. Italian helicopter company Agusta has purchased anti-ballistic radar antenna housings for its AB412 Series military choppers.
David Doderer, a senior development engineer with U.S. Global, said his company also makes air filters with nanofibers initially developed for extended NASA space flights, to screen out ultra-fine air particles, such as viruses like SARS.
Nice find Wynns!
