CAMX 2023: FiRMA, Engenuity’s new approach to SMC, uses a predictive technique that accurately reflects material properties and determine the performance range an SMC part or structure will exhibit.

Aerion Corp. and Spirit AeroSystems have entered into a collaboration agreement for the preliminary design of the AS2’s forward, pressurized fuselage.

The move was made following a request from Boeing that Spirit pause additional work on four 737 MAX shipsets and avoid starting production on 16 737 MAX shipsets to be delivered in 2020.

Under the agreement, Spirit will restart production slowly, ramping up to reach a total of 216 MAX shipsets delivered to Boeing in 2020.

Spirit emphasizes use of modeling and simulation software for composite resin infusion technology.

Combination of high-temperature composite, structure capabilities and experience in 3D-woven near-net shape composites to help rapidly scale affordable hypersonic thermal protection systems.

Revenue was down 55%, primarily due to the effects of the 737 MAX grounding and COVID-19. Total 2020 shipset deliveries was 920, down from 1,791 in 2019.

The funding, in national response to COVID-19, will support and expand Spirit’s production capabilities for composites and metallic fabrication.

While the world continues to wait for new single-aisle program announcements from Airbus and Boeing, it’s clear composites will play a role in their fabrication. But in what ways, and what capacity?

Simutence and Engenuity demonstrate a virtual process chain enabling evaluation of process-induced fiber orientations for improved structural simulation and failure load prediction of a composite wing rib.
