Lead wool ?

I did not know such a material had a place in aviation. Are we talking real Plumbum wool? I note comment that fiber glass was used in the TriStar but wonder which jets actually used Pb for acoustic damping and how much it accounted for total weight.


As i always like to know the reason why things are called what they are
any advances on why it was christened a Frisbee fairing ?
