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.

Northrop Grumman subsidiary part of Digital Pathfinder development of stealth aircraft with wings using continuous carbon fiber additive manufacturing and determinate assembly.

European project advances OOA outer wing box using resin infusion and thermoplastic composite technologies.

Part of project Orcelle Horizon, the composites-intensive, 560-square-meter structure will undergo ground-based testing before installation on a demonstrator shipping vessel.

The NCC was awarded a £15.8 million U.K. government grant for HRMCap to de-risk, accelerate innovation in high-rate large aerocomposites structure manufacturing.

AnalySwift high-fidelity modeling software enabled the university to identify optimal configurations for structures including wings and antennas, maximizing longevity, enhancing safety and expanding function.

Full-scale wing box project achieves TRL 5 with 2% weight reduction and 4% reduction in recurring production costs through improved manufacturing efficiency and assembly processes.

The HERWINGT project in Clean Aviation seeks to ready technologies — including at least 16 composite demonstrators — for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft with 50% less fuel burn to be launched by 2035.

GT Wings’ AirWing leverages aerospace engineering principles combined with hybrid glass and carbon fiber composite construction to deliver up to 30% fuel savings through compact, deck-compatible wind propulsion.

First scalable, flight-ready prototype will incorporate high-rate composites manufacturing, a blended wing airframe and an autonomy-first architecture.

This collaborative approach with Hexcel is accelerating the technological assessment and development of JetZero’s all-wing Z4 platform.
