CARBONFIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES USED IN AVIATION INDUSTRY
Aviation industry: It continues to be the driving force of world economies with the services it provides such as rapid transportation, trade and tourism. However, increasing fuel and maintenance costs, as well as safety and environmental regulations, have led the aviation industry to seek “lighter, more durable” materials.
In the light of developments in materials science; Reducing the airframe weight of aircraft provides lower fuel consumption, while also reducing both carbon emissions and operating costs. At this point, composite materials that do not compromise on safety create solutions for the sector.
Carbon fiber, one of today’s most important composite materials; It has become indispensable in the sector with its superior features such as high strength/weight ratio, structural stability, heat and corrosion resistance.
Carbon weaving, nonwoven fabrics, felts, fireproof and flame-retardant technical textile fabrics, which are increasingly used today for the vital aviation industry, are making their mark in many areas in the aviation industry.
