panel 10 is a window trim panel with a cut out 12 for the window nonwoven fabric or nonwoven refers to randomly oriented staple fiber in one embodiment the nonwoven may be made by a wet laid process discussed in greater detail below in this embodiment the staple may have a length of about 0 125 1 25 inches in other embodiments the staple may have lengths in the range of 0 25 0 75 inches or 0 5 0 75 inches the staple orientation within the nonwoven may generally yield an anisotropic material with greater physical properties in the machine direction than in the transverse direction see table below the staple fibers may be made of any material having good tensile properties e g tensile properties similar to the tensiles of filaments used to make structural surface components of aircraft such materials include glass fiber carbon fiber lyotropic thermotropic liquid crystal polymer fibers e g aramids kevlar nomex etc aromatic polyesters vectran polybenzimidazole and combinations thereof in one embodiment the staple fiber may be carbon staple fiber in another embodiment the carbon staple is recycled from carbon filament that may have been pre impregnated with resin pre preg carbon filament such pre preg carbon filament may be sourced from for example facilities that laid up carbon filament panels for aircraft components if recycled from pre preg carbon filament it is preferred the resin is thoroughly removed from.
