HexForce Reinforcements and HexPly Prepregs for Aerospace-3

By the 1970's designers had turned to composites for the weight-savings necessary for the large nacelles required by the new generation of large high power turbofans. Today, engine nacelles and thrust reversers include so many major composite components that carbon fibre epoxy prepregs account for typically half the volume of the entire nacelle structure. The next step for aero-engine designers has been to apply composites technology to more complex structures within the engine itself. Defence Aircraft In their quest for superior performance, defence aircraft designers were the first to experiment...
