A newly designed self-healing composite material can repair itself over 1,000 times. Developed by researchers at North ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

General aviation aircraft, large commercial jets and wind turbines are vulnerable to lightning strike. FAA-certified aircraft, for example, are typically struck once or twice a year. Unlike their ...

Composites have flown on commercial aircraft primary structures — those critical to flight — for more than 30 years, but only recently have they conquered the fuselage, wingbox and wings, most notably ...

Analysing failed fibre composite aircraft structures will be a significant challenge for regulators investigating the causes of aircraft accidents in the future, according to the Australian Transport ...

The University of Texas at Arlington has received a $600,000 grant from Boeing to test composite components that officials believe will lead to longer-lasting aircraft and identify when those ...

Composite sandwich materials are an interesting alternative to the use of conventional composite structures for aircraft components. Current research at DLR addresses the question, as to where ...

Manufacturers of the Stratolaunch air-launch platform used Collier Research’s automated sizing and analysis software to inform laminate design and production NEWPORT NEWS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When ...

A carbon composite inner skin for the LEAP-1C engine’s O-Duct is formed via a specialty molding process, used for the first time in the program to build aero-structures for the CFM International ...

One of the principal manufacturing benefits of using advanced composites is the reduction in the number of parts needed to fabricate an aircraft structure. To realize the full potential of this ...
