CONT

Aircraft fabric covering is a term used for both the material used and the process of covering aircraft open structures. It is also used for reinforcing closed plywood structures, the de Havilland Mosquito being an example of this technique. Early aircraft used organic materials such as cotton and cellulose dope, modern fabric covered designs usually use synthetic materials such as Nylon and butyrate dope for adhesive, this method is often used in the restoration of older types that were originally covered using traditional methods.
