Composite liners (such as acoustic panels, fan track liners, and/or ice impact panels or boxes for turbofan engines) and techniques for forming composite liners. In some examples, the composite liner includes at least one region comprising a reinforcement architecture comprising a matrix material, a plurality of relatively tough polymer-based reinforcement elements, and a plurality of second reinforcement elements. The plurality of relatively tough polymer-based reinforcement elements and the plurality of second reinforcement elements are embedded in the matrix material.

The present invention relates to a multilayer composite comprising a first monolayer comprising high-performance fibers, aligned in a first direction and a first matrix material and a second monolayer comprising high-performance fibers, aligned in a second direction and a second matrix material and a third polymeric film located in between the first and the second monolayer, with the third polymeric film having a tensile modulus of at least 0.75 GPa measured by ASTM D882. Preferably the high-performance fibers comprise UHMWPE fibers. A thermoplastic polyurethane is in contact with the first monolayer to form a first outer layer of the composite and in contact with the second monolayer to form a second outer layer of the composite, opposite to the first outer layer.
