INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS FOR COMPOSITES

AEROSPACE – AVIATION

Aerospace sector drives innovation in composites.
Sectors growth share in the total composites market is estimated to be 16% in 2019.

Composite materials are beneficial to aviation and aerospace industry based on their light weight and superior physical properties. Fiberglass was first used in the Boeing 707 passenger jet in the 1950s. carbon fiber-based composites are now the leading materials on the market . Composite materials comprises almost 50 percent of the Boeing 787 with 20 percent weight reduce.



Key advantages; 

  • Incompareable strength and stiffness-to-density ratios
  • Reduced airframe weight,  enables better fuel economy
  • Allow for one-piece designs and bility to absorb vibrations

UTILIZATION


Increase in knowledge and development of the materials in secondary usage transforms usage in primary structure such as wings and fuselages.



Front fairing, upper fuselage shells, crown and side panels, cabin interiors , flaps, wings, flight deck panels and interior design contains mainly composite materials in aeorospace and aviation Industry.
