A new video from NASA Dryden shows how aircraft wing morphing technology is being used to develop quieter and more efficient aircraft systems.

Selected by Boeing, RTX business units Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace will be supporting the X-66A aircraft dedicated to aviation decarbonization.

Next-gen carbon fiber materials will be tested under extreme conditions for 12-18 months to determine their viability in space for use in future space bases, interplanetary travel.

A focus on academia-driven contributions to the composites industry will be highlighted by Dr. Srikanth Pilla of the University of Delaware’s Center for Composites Materials.

CAMX 2024: Rishon, which combines RCF Technologies’ elastomer and composite fabrics, bonds to metals and most composites, while providing high-temperature operations, sound and vibration absorption, heat insulation and more.

CW editor-in-chief Scott Francis discusses the role of composites in recent and upcoming space missions. 

At the recent SAMPE Conference and Exhibition (see “Related Content,” at left) Cornerstone Research Group’s (CRG, Dayton, Ohio) Reflexive composites were touted as a composite system that, according to CRG’s research and development engineer Thomas Margraf and chief engineer Ernie Havens, can detect and heal damage in

NASA and Janicki Industries demonstrate composites’ cost advantage in tooling for fabrication of 10m/33 ft diameter payload fairing for next-generation launch vehicle.

A decade since NASA opened extraterrestrial space to potential use as a commercial industry workplace, in this month's issue, CW traces the role composites have played in public/private progress toward that goal.

CFRP has become key to targeting efforts in reusing components like rocket stages, as well as the development of reusable hypersonic testbeds and spaceplanes, for increasing space commercialization.
