CHANGE: AEROSPACE
GAME CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
Imagine if more aerospace structural parts can be made of light weight composites, with more design freedom, and in a fraction of the time versus thermosets? LMPAEK™ polymer invented by Victrex has become a game changer in manufacturing aerospace composites, enabling performance with processability in ways previously not possible.
Record breaking layup speed of thermosets
All thermoplastic drive-shaft system
Major breakthrough in time-and-cost efficient production of complex aircraft parts – JEC2019 Innovation Award winning application.
Loaded Brackets
Up to 50% reduction in weight versus aluminium, up to 5x better bu-to-fly ratio versus aluminium
An exceptionally thick 176-ply laminate, 32 millimeter-thick composite structure based on VICTREX AE™ 250 LMPAEK composite solutions.
Further reducing CO2 from the sky
Unlike the long-haul fleets such as the A350 and the B787, single-aisle planes are still vastly made of metal. And 39,000 of these planes are projected to enter service between 2021 - 2040. How much CO2 emission can we potentially reduce if all of these planes were made half by light weight composites?
