Using Recycled Carbon Fiber Nonwovens to Accelerate AAM Development
Advanced air mobility (AAM) is reshaping the future of passenger and cargo transport, prioritizing lightweight and sustainable materials to drive advancements in electric flight and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. In this webinar, Dr. Mandy Clement and Dr. Tim Swait will present a recent collaboration between the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and James Cropper. This pioneering project focused on developing reinforced UAV wing skins that offer strength, lightweight properties and recyclability in equal measure. In the project, the emphasis was on the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, such as tailored fiber placement (TFP), to precisely reinforce critical areas of the UAV wing skin without adding unnecessary weight. James Cropper’s recycled carbon nonwovens are utilized within the project to facilitate part manufacture via TFP, providing a lightweight substrate for continuous fibers to be stitched to, thereby improving handling during production. The webinar will focus on the project’s main objectives, discussing the challenges and material validation that resulted in the delivery of highly efficient, lightweight UAV structures with sustainable materials integral to the design and successful manufacture.
