Composite Materials
- A combination of a matrix and a reinforcement, which when combined gives properties superior to the properties of the individual components
- In the case of an aerospace composite, the reinforcement is the fibres and the matrix is the thermosetting resin
- Better weight saving, strength, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance when compared with metals
- Less weight equals less cost for airlines and increased range
- Material has a shelf life until cured

Sustainability Driving Growth
- Composites play an important role in light weighting all new aircraft platforms, civil and defence
- The aerospace sector has a clear strategy to achieve net zero by 2050 and demand for composites will grow as older platforms are retired for new generation aircraft
- Velocity customers need to do more-for-less to meet the production rate increases of aircraft. Outsourcing is easier when aircraft production rates are increasing
