Claim 14:
15. An aerospace foam core mirror configured to be implemented in an interior aircraft application comprising:
a transparent mirror layer having a first transparent mirror layer face that is structured and arranged as an outer face and a second transparent mirror layer face that is structured and arranged as an inner face, wherein said first transparent mirror layer face is hard-coated to increase scratch resistance and/or wear resistance, the transparent mirror layer comprises a polycarbonate material, and said second transparent mirror layer face is metalized directly on the inner face to provide reflective mirror properties;
a foam core layer having a first core layer face and a second core layer face, said foam core layer comprising a lightweight foam material, wherein said first core layer face is arranged adjacent to said second transparent mirror layer face;
a backing layer comprising a high tensile strength material, said backing layer having a first backing layer face and a second backing layer face, wherein said first backing layer face is arranged adjacent to said second core layer face;
a first adhesive arranged between said second transparent mirror layer face and said first core layer face; and
a second adhesive arranged between said second core layer face and said first backing layer face,
wherein the transparent mirror layer comprises a transparent material;
wherein the transparent mirror layer, the foam core layer, and the backing layer are configured as a laminate structure; and
wherein a thickness of said aerospace foam core mirror is 3.0 mm to 9.0 mm in total.
