What condition exists if an aircraft's transparent plastic enclosures exhibit fine cracks?

  1. Crazing

  2. Warping

  3. Clouding

  4. Melting

The correct answer is: Crazing

When an aircraft's transparent plastic enclosures exhibit fine cracks, the condition that exists is known as crazing. Crazing is the formation of tiny, interconnected cracks on the surface of plastic material, such as acrylics or polycarbonates, often caused by exposure to chemicals, stress, or environmental factors. It can reduce the transparency of the material and compromise its structural integrity. Warping refers to deformation or bending of the material, clouding indicates a loss of transparency due to various factors, and melting signifies the material being turned from a solid to a liquid state usually because of exposure to high temperatures.
