A350 XWB (extra wide body), the aircraft that Airbus Industrie did not want to build, is now visibly taking shape, propelled by fully committed engineering and management teams within Airbus itself and throughout its supply chain. George Marsh reviews the project so far.
The question of how to dispose of end-of-life thermoset composites parts is growing in importance. Traditional disposal routes such as landfill and incineration are becoming increasingly restricted, and composites companies and their customers are looking for more sustainable solutions. The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) addressed this issue at its Information Day – Competitive Composites:…
Stella Job, Knowledge Exchange Expert for the Materials Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), UK, discusses the issues surrounding the recycling of glass fibre reinforced plastics (GRP), and reviews some of the options available today.
Two trends are currently in evidence among plastics processing companies: On the one hand, the complexity of systems is increasing, while on the other, customers are seeking flexible solutions owing to ever faster product changes, increasing variant diversity and, consequently, ever smaller unit volumes per order, down to one-off parts. These requirements can be met,…
