It would be amazing for the outer skin on the cockpit of an aircraft, if it meets the tensile and thermal requirements...imagine no heavy glass at all, just a complete 360 degrees of transparent fuselage.

That was one of the applications mentioned, a covering of materials to give added protection.

Put it on your vehicle to prevent chips and body damage. May a car bumper.

I was just thinking that one really good use will be military armor. They might be able to reduce the thickness of the ceramic plates and coat them with this plastic material.

It could take 10-15 lbs off of a soldier.
