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.
Per the definitive agreement, Airbus is taking ownership of assets across seven of Spirit’s sites to ensure stability of its supply for its commercial aircraft programs.
Despite persistent supply chain issues, markets were set for healthy growth before Trump policies and tariffs, yet long-term trends favor composites in new platforms. Meanwhile, the advanced air mobility shakes out and moves forward.
The switch to HG machining centers for the milling of automotive CFRP parts and structural components cuts setup time down from 40-45% to 2-3% and protects against dust generation.
Partnership will lean on Airbus’s satellites and helicopters expertise, supporting innovators to advance aerospace-related projects with positive environmental impact.
Tool-Gauge, a key U.S. supplier of unreinforced and reinforced plastic components and subassemblies for Boeing and Airbus, adds to Demgy Group’s global footprint.
Outlined technology bricks — including foldable wings, more efficient engines and propulsion and composite materials — could support a planned single-aisle next decade, plus Airbus’s renewed commitment of a commercially viable H2 aircraft.
The resurrected Rosalind Franklin composite rover mission’s key systems will be upgraded with support from the TAS, ESA and NASA for a planned launch in 2028.
Cranfield University, along with 23 partners including Airbus, GKN and Collins, are building their knowledge of tube and wing and BWB aircraft concepts through development of testbed research aircraft.
Despite the challenge year, Airbus attained its 2024 outlook, with solid order intake across all businesses and €69.2 billion in revenue.
Hydrogen-powered aircraft program is being delayed from original 2035 plan, with Airbus expanding nearer term plans to flight test SAF engines for a next-gen single aisle instead.
