Military and commercial tier supplier Elbit Cyclone maintains precision and quality as it continues growth in composites, complex assemblies and high-rate production.

The legacy of composite parts and structures is built on a family of thermosets — including epoxy, vinyl ester, polyester and phenolic — that have helped tremendously to make the industry what it is today. Not to be forgotten are thermoplastics, which have played a serious role as well, and offer advantages that promise to make this material type one of the fastest growing over the next decade.

Yes, advanced forms are in development, but has the technology progressed enough to make the business case?

Record crowds and reignited technological development testified to the composite industry’s renewed health and the recent recession’s demise.

Reinforced thermoplastics buy their way into structural aircraft interior components.

The matrix binds the fiber reinforcement, gives the composite component its shape and determines its surface quality. A composite matrix may be a polymer, ceramic, metal or carbon. Here's a guide to selection.

Inaugural conference for the advanced resins research crowd updates formulators and processors on the latest developments.

Work at NCAMP is proceeding, with several new materials undergoing testing.

This Danish manufacturer of precision composite aircraft parts and components has emerged as a significant player in fabrication of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II.

Proven in fan blade/case applications, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers migrate to previously unanticipated destinations nearer the engine “hot zone.”
