Scaling Composites For High Rate Production Environments
The aerospace industry is under pressure to increase production rates while reducing costs and generating positive environmental benefits. According to Rob Blackburn, global head of customer engineering at Syensqo, the real challenge is industrialisation, and composites are being evaluated for their ability to enable high-rate production. The industry is shifting towards designing materials not just for the aircraft, but for the factory, with a focus on manufacturability and scalability.
