Aerospace Composites in the More For Less Era

The substantial use of composites in the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 XWB has launched a new era in aerospace materials application that promises to reshape commercial aircraft design and manufacture for the next several decades. With few new “white sheet” aircraft programs on the horizon and aircraft OEMs focused on increased profitability, the industry is entering a “More For Less” era where price reductions and supplier concessions will be the norm. 

This webinar will evaluate how the overall aerospace materials supply chain has evolved over the last five years, and look ahead to the materials options aircraft OEMs face as legacy aircraft like the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 reach maturity and possible redesign. This webinar will also look at the challenges faced by increased composites use in commercial aerospace and how competing material suppliers are responding.
