Composites
Lightweight and strong, used in wings, tail assemblies, and interior components.
e.g., carbon fiber reinforced polymers, fiberglass
| Aramid Fiber Composites | Utilized in engine containment systems and armor plating for impact resistance. |
| Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) | Used in airframes, wings, and fuselage sections for high strength and low weight. |
| Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) | Applied in interior panels and secondary structures for durability and cost-effectiveness. |
| Hybrid Composites | Combine carbon, glass, or aramid fibers, used in tailored applications like tail assemblies. |
| Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) | Employed in engine components for heat resistance and strength. |
A list of OEMs that make Composites is coming soon. Please check back again next week.
