So far, large cylindrical hydrogen storage tanks have been used commonly; however, they require a great deal of space. More compact tanks, which can be produced at low cost, therefore play an ...

Hill Helicopters engineered composite main rotor blades using a novel single-cure manufacturing process for stiffness and ...

Automation solutions for aircraft construction: Pioneering mobile holding fixture for flexible clamping, alignment, and transport of components reduces the workload of production processes ...

Carbon fiber has been used in race cars and high-end road cars for decades, but the lightweight material is still considered too expensive for mainstream cars, though that may change soon. Nissan is ...

Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed an improved process for recycling carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites that are featured in modern commercial airframes. A new study ...

BMW armored the cockpit of its next-generation 7 Series with carbon fiber in a move to improve safety and distance its big sport sedan from Mercedes-Benz and Audi as the world's finest, safest ...

Until something better and too far-fetched for us to consider at this time comes along, things leaving our planet will need rockets to do so. And those rockets will need fuel, which has to be stored ...

Researchers recently developed a quasi-3D extend finite element method, a novel and computationally efficient method for simulating damage propagation in CFRP laminates. Their technique may make CFRP ...
