GLARE has been most often applied in the aviation field . It forms part of the Airbus A380 fuselage and the leading edge of the tail surfaces . In 1995 , an aircraft freight container made out of GLARE became the first container certified by the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) for blast resistance ; the container can absorb and neutralize the explosion and fire from a bomb such as the one used in the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster over Lockerbie , Scotland in 1988 . GLARE has also been used in the front radome bulkhead of the Bombardier Learjet 45 business jet , which was first delivered in 1998 , as a cargo liner solution for regional jets , and in straps for the highest loaded frames in the Airbus A400M military transport aircraft
