A multi-layer aircraft adhesive composition is provided having a first layer prepared from a first composition having a Part A and a Part B. Part A contains a plasticizer, a crosslinking agent, and an adhesion promoter. Part B contains a moisture resister and an abrasion resister. The composition has a second layer formed over at least a portion of the first layer. The second layer is prepared from a second composition having a Part C and a Part D. Part C contains at least one polythiol functional polymer, at least one epoxy resin, at least one sulfur containing material that is different from the at least one polythiol functional polymer, at least one plasticizer, and at least one filler. Part D contains at least one plasticizer, at least one of manganese dioxide or lead oxide, and at least one alkaline agent.

Preformed compositions in shaped form comprising polymer blends, and the use of these preformed compositions in shaped form to seal apertures are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the preformed compositions are electrically conductive and are capable of shielding EMI/RFI radiation. The polymer blend includes a polysulfide component and a polythioether component.

A system and method is provided for modeling a world database that is a spheroid in a computer graphics simulation system. The method includes the operation of modeling the world database using a plurality of geodetic terrain gridposts. A further operation is creating a triangulated network mesh based on the geodetic terrain gridposts in real-time as a function of eye position. In addition, the triangulated network mesh is stored in geodetic coordinates. The triangulated network mesh is then rendered using geometry formed by the triangulated network mesh.

A polymer blend having at least one polysulfide component and at least one polythioether component is disclosed. The polymer blend offers numerous advantages, including the ability to compatibilize formulations based on either polysulfide chemistry or polythioether chemistry alone. Compositions comprising the polymer blend, particularly sealant formulations for use in aerospace applications, are also disclosed, as are multilayer sealant assemblies and methods for repairing the same.

A method is provided for correlating imprecise source data in a local coordinate system to a precise global eyepoint position for a global coordinate system within which the local coordinate system is located. The method includes the step of identifying key correlation points for the local coordinate system which has modeling inaccuracies. Global coordinates are also identified for each of the key correlation points. Another step is computing delta values for each of the key correlation points that represent the difference between key correlation points' local system coordinates and the global coordinate system's coordinate values for the key correlation points. An additional step is modifying the global eyepoint position based on delta values for selected key correlation points as the global eyepoint position moves in relation to the local coordinate system within the global coordinate system.

A system and method is provided for combining independent scene layers to form computer generated environments. The method includes the operation of constructing a terrain layer using stored terrain data. Another operation is generating a feature layer using feature layer data that is stored separately from the stored terrain data. The feature layer and the terrain layer can then be combined to form a composite scene.
