CW editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan identifies companies exhibiting at JEC World 2022 that are advancing both materials and technologies for the growing AAM, hydrogen, automotive and sustainability markets.

High-denier, spread-tow Nextel 610 fiber and novel alumina matrix enable AFP production of Ox-Ox ceramic matrix composites.

Lightweight, hard and stable at high temperatures, CMCs are emerging from two decades of study and development into commercial applications.

Spread tow and thin ply open new opportunities in composites for golf shafts/driveshafts, boats and spacecraft thanks to improvements in lead time, weight and performance.

Fortify uses magnetic fields and digital light processing to produce tailored microstructures for high-resolution, 3D printed composite parts — and enables the next generation of multiscale, multifunctional composite metamaterials.

From humble beginnings as target drones and rudimentary surveillance devices during the Vietnam War, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are now taking the place of manned aircraft in what U.S. military planners refer to as "dirty, dangerous and dull" missions -- flights through hostile territory and areas of chemical

Civilian supersonic flight could begin a new era as aircraft developers position composites-intensive designs for market entry, particularly in the business-jet niche.
