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.

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?
