The Future of Thermoplastic Composites in Aerospace

These materials offer a significant improvement in strength, weight, environmental resistance, fatigue performance and damage tolerance. This, combined with the versatility of automated fiber placement and the high degree of design control, allows for the creation of products that can outperform what exists in the market today.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, Albany has been at the forefront of thermoplastic fiber placement technology for more than 30 years. In this webinar, Trelleborg will look at specific aerospace programs they've been involved in and what their impact may mean for the future adoption of thermoplastics.

In addition, Trelleborg will discuss the unique properties of thermoplastic composites, supporting test data and how it relates to the next generation of aerostructures.

Agenda:

• Integration of copper mesh to meet electrical requirements
• Flight-critical, highly loaded application potential
• Benefits of direct fiber placement on magnetic rotors for electric engines
