Surprisingly, Ford GT's new windshield just 3 mm thinThe Ford GT super car 2017 will be the first model to be equipped with tempered glass Corning Gorilla Glass new generation hybrid, sturdy, durable, scratch resistant, slightly over 30% compared to traditional glass and thin only from 3 to 4 mm. Developed by Ford and Corning Gorilla Glass glass hybrid technology, is equipped for both fairings and windscreens of the Ford GT engine, improve interoperability, save fuel and reduce the risk of damage to the glass.When tasked with developing these applications reduce the weight and improve the quality of vehicles, the Ford team has approached with Corning, the leading unit in material technology-technology introduction dear Gorilla Glass super light with high durability in consumer electronics market since 2007.Traditional car windshield consisting of two layers of glass, are attached to each other by layers of transparent thermoplastic. Was first introduced in America by Henry Ford, this technology has been used in the automotive industry for nearly a century.New futuristic glass technology using multi-layer approach-a plate forces reinforced inside, a plastic layer to absorb noise and an external glass layer. The result obtained is the windshield and glass panels covering the engine after the lighter near 32% compared with the same media type.Its exterior engineer, says Paul Linden explained: "in the course of development, we have tested many different glass variations until we find an optimal combination just make sure weight reduction as well as maintaining the durability needed for the glass door of the vehicle. We have learned that, in a counterintuitive, the strengthening layer inside of windshield is also the key to success for glass technology "New generation hybrid Gorilla Glass glass thinner from 25 to 50% in comparison with the older generation but still ensure equivalent hardness. The glass will typically range from 4 to 6 mm thick, while the hybrid glass only about 3 to 4 mm thick Gorilla. The thickness reducing drag under the minimized the weight of each door.This new technology was tested on the rocky terrain and rugged terrain, and has overcome the specific testing of collision with an object, flip cars and gas tunnel to test the aerodynamic propertiesThe significantly reduced the weight of the engine cowling, windshield and glass walls bring positive effects for the Ford GT, helped the car accelerate faster, enhances the ability to save fuel as well as the brake efficiency. But perhaps the most important benefit of reducing the minimum weight of the car glass is help for the media to lower the center of gravity, thus helping the car easy to achieve maximum speed and flexibility.
