The advantages of building aircraft structures with composites, compared to metal, include light weight, high specific strength, superior fatigue properties, damage tolerance and the absence of corrosion.

Airbus will provide four primary lightweight carbon fibers structures for the next 14 vehicle launchers via state-of-the-art 4.0 industrial facility in Getafe, Spain.

Zero-emission development center in Germany will target cryogenic liquid hydrogen tanks using lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced composites for proposed aircraft to enter service by 2035.

Following its Kona cargo aircraft with 460 pre-orders, this larger all-CFRP model responds to airlines’ request to fill Boeing and Airbus gap with 25% less weight, 40% greater capacity and 50% less carbon emissions, to enter service by early 2030s.

Under the multi-million euro deal, the Irish company will supply composite parts for Bombardier and Airbus aircraft until 2030.

The innovation unit will bring together corporate innovation, startup engagement and company building activities to pioneer sustainable aerospace and develop Airbus’ future programs and businesses.

A signed MOU covers multiple projects and work packages related to the H225M helicopter’s engineering, EWIS design and manufacturing, MRO, composites design and more.

Integrated solution for TPC stamp forming and part assembly via induction welding opens capabilities for increased part sizes, reduced weight and production cost, optimized cycle times.

Maiden flight of the biomimetic adaptable wing establishes baseline for future fuel consumption reductions, sets milestone for ground testing and flights beginning 2024.

Key structural elements for a 6-meter section of the Airbus biomimetic wing were undertaken by NCC engineering specialists to produce 28 one-off flying parts.

The wholly owned subsidiary unifies the strengths, resources and skills of Airbus and STELIA Aerospace, establishes 500 direct and 1,500 indirect supplies.
