AEROComposites - Strategic & Technology Sessions

Open to all attendees at AERO Engineering USA 2010

---

Hosted as part of the 2010 Aero Engineering USA Supply Chain Fair & Forum, the AEROComposites program provides design, manufacturing & customer groups with a focused 2 x half day program of presentations in the purpose built auditoriums, integrated into the show floor.

Specifically the program is aimed to reflect developments in the following sectors, with a ‘commercially focused’ high value, high intensity’ program addressing the CORE issues affecting & influencing composites current & future usage throughout the aerospace engineering sector, specifically

• Aircraft (Civil Military) – Fixed Wing
• Aircraft (Civil / Military) - Rotary Wing & Tilt Rotor
• Unmanned Vehicles – UAV/UCAV
• Launch & Space Vehicle
• General Aviation

Program Overview

Against the backdrop of the ever increasing performance requirements for civil & military aircraft , environmental ‘green’ response, and cost reduction pressures, the program will bring together speakers from leading composites solutions & materials providers, OEM primes PLUS sub assembly & component design & manufacturing groups to assess:

1. Strategic growth outlook
   
   projections for next 10- 20 years for the total ‘aerospace/aviation’ composites market
   
   cost reduction pressures explore 
   
   composites skills strategy – beyond B787
    
2. Applications Update – in composite parts, secondary and primary structures, with larger case studies targeted in:
   
   Aerostructures
   Interiors
   Aero engines
    
3. Materials update: Insight into latest & future use of key materials:
   
   3D textiles performs
   Tooling materials
   Natural & sustainable materials
   Thermoplastics
   Nanomaterials
    
4. Design & Manufacturing process update - insight into current & future design & manufacturing business drivers towards time & cost reduction:
   Automation
   Out of Autoclave
    
5. Lifecycle test & inspection - insight into industry solutions to optimize composite structures test efficiency in the design & manufacturing process:
   
   FAA Testing
