CompositesWorld Editorial Submission Guidelines

CompositesWorld (CW) magazine offers web- and print-based opportunities for composites industry suppliers and fabricators to communicate with CW readers about new products, technologies, and other developments. All CW editorial content is staff-written, although a white paper, press release or other documents can form the basis for any story. The following are CW story types and how best to communicate with editorial staff about each.

Will the Airbus-CFM H2 flight demonstrator use metal or composite tanks?

The Airbus A380 testbed will fly in 2026 with four 100-kilogram liquid hydrogen tanks — metal and composites are being developed via Airbus ZEROe Development Centres — with multiple other programs to develop composite H2 tanks for civil aviation that were begun in 2021.

Sensors for Composites Processing: CW Trending Episode 8

Why use sensors in composites manufacturing? What sensor types are available and how can they be applied? Learn about all of this and more in a discussion with CW senior editor Ginger Gardiner and editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan in this episode of CW Trending, sponsored by RVmagnetics.

Sensors: Data for next-gen composites manufacturing

In the quest for sustainability, sensors are reducing cycle times, energy use and waste, automating closed-loop process control and increasing knowledge to open new possibilities for intelligent manufacturing and structures.
