Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are developing a method to produce aerospace-grade composites without the enormous ovens and pressure vessels currently used in the process ...

Chinese airframer Comac recently mounted an autoclave near Shanghai that will produce the C919 narrowbody aircraft. The autoclave will be used to produce composite parts for the C919, says Comac in a ...

Alenia Composite is acquiring a second autoclave to mitigate the risk of disruption to its one-piece fuselage barrel production for the Boeing 787 programme. The manufacturer's Grottaglie facility ...

Aerostructures Middle East Services FZCO (AMES), the engine nascelle and aerostructure maintenance joint venture between Safran Nacelles and Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance, has ...

This technical webinar will provide an in-depth overview of Syensqo’s advanced Bismaleimide (BMI) portfolio, including prepregs and adhesives for high-performance aerospace applications. Attendees ...

Composite airframes were important in defense systems before the Boeing 787 made them a household word. The basics of building even 80-ft.-long single-piece composite wingboxes have been conquered.

The people at Premier Autoclaves are well known as the goto guys for all things autoclave in the UK, and increasingly elsewhere in Europe. They were set up as a service and upgrade business back in ...

Engineers have developed a method to produce aerospace-grade composites without the enormous ovens and pressure vessels. The technique may help to speed up the manufacturing of airplanes and other ...

Spirit AeroSystems’ effort to find faster and cheaper ways of manufacturing composite parts is beginning to pay off. On the company’s second-quarter 2017 earnings conference call with analysts two ...

Airplane wings and wind turbine blades are typically created using bulk polymerization in composite manufacturing facilities. They are heated and cured in enormous autoclaves and heated molds as big ...

Thermoplastic composites in aircraft structure have long been scrutinized, because this class of materials has the potential for fast forming, weldability, inherently superior fatigue performance and ...

The tool is designed for out-of-autoclave composite debulking and curing and adhesive bonding, whether in hangars, lab environments or in the field.
