Composite Technology for Advanced Air Mobility Blades

November 21, 2024 |

This presentation will focus on the key drivers and Syensqo's approach to unlocking the full potential of composite materials for eVTOL blades.

Composite materials are being successfully adopted for certification and low initial rate production (LRIP) in eVTOL aircraft variants today. As demand for eVTOL grows, vehicle build rates will increase and the challenge of high-rate composite production will become a reality.

Syensqo is developing composite material solutions to meet the most demanding requirements for eVTOL's vehicles of today and tomorrow. This presentation will focus on the key drivers and Syensqo's approach to unlocking the full potential of composite materials for eVTOL blades.

Agenda: 

  • A review of the advanced air mobility market status
  • The future challenges facing composite materials adoption
  • Key drivers for advanced air mobility rotor blades
  • Syensqo's advanced materials solutions for blades
