    The integrated COMPASS cell runs as one entity. Dry fiber cutting and preforming feed directly to the Langzauner composite press via FANUC robots traversing a shared 85 meters of track. Source | University of Sheffield AMRC According to an analysis by the Aerospace Technology Institute’s (ATI, Bedfordshire, U.K.), the next-generation single-aisle aircraft requires a production rate of 180 per month by 2046, with the underlying manufacturing technologies required to reach technology readiness lev

    Read excerpt

    The Layway AFP1 industrial laser-assisted thermoplastic AFP system shows the tape spool and laser delivery system integrated directly into the end-effector assembly. Source (All Images) | Layway Thermoplastic automated fiber placement (AFP) has existed as a validated manufacturing technology for more than two decades. The process can produce some very high-performance structural composite parts with fiber volume fractions above 55%, interlaminar shear strengths exceeding 60 megapascals and the w

Source (All Images Unless Otherwise Mentioned) | Stewart Mitchell The composites on display at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow shared a common thread, in that the material itself was rarely the headline. What set one demonstrator apart from the next was the thinking behind it, how the fiber was placed, how heat and pressure were applied and how a design anticipated the load

    Post Cure: Robotic Laminography Reveals Microscopic Impact Damage in CFRP Sandwich Panels (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Omni NDE’s (Ogden, Utah, U.S.) robotic computed laminography system, a derivative of computed tomography (CT) scanning, captured this striking view inside a damaged honeycomb core carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sandwich panel. The resulting image reveals failure mechanisms invisible to conventional inspection methods. Notably, the 12-micron-resolution scan shows individual carbon fiber breakage, crushed aluminum honeycomb cells with 40-micron-thick septum walls and complex deformation pa

    A CAD rendering of the ASPIRE wingtip demonstrator with the upper skin removed, revealing the spanwise spars, chordwise ribs, aerodynamic skin panels and multi-bay root fitting at the fold hinge line. Source | GKN Aerospace Somewhere in GKN Aerospace’s (Bristol, U.K.) Global Technology Centre, there is a composite technician hand-rolling carbon fiber prepreg into what are known as noodles. These are individual sections nearly a meter long, shaped into a slender, triangular cross-section to becom
