    GLOBAL ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT COMPOSITE MATERIAL MARKET 2021-2026

     

    INTRODUCTION

    Increasing environmental awareness and expected growth in air traffic over the next decades drive the need for the development of new technologies in the aviation industry. To meet established emission and noise reductions, all-electric aircraft are a promising technology. Most concepts for electric aircraft components rely on fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to create load-bearing material.

    As a result of its high strength-to-weight ratio and anti-corrosive characteristic, carbon fibre composites are widely employed in aerospace and aeronautical applications. When it comes to wing and fuselage construction, engine and fan components, and flooring and interior sections of aeroplanes, carbon fibre composite materials are frequently used. Its usage in aerospace applications is also being driven by advancements in carbon fibre composite manufacturing technologies.

     

    Newest introductions include graphene nanoribbons films utilised in ice protection systems, as well as conductive composites with integrated conductive fibres like graphene and carbon nanotubes designed to transport lightning currents.

    In recent decades, the aircraft industry has shifted from using metals to using composites. In order to produce more fuel-efficient aircraft, manufacturers have turned to lighter, more efficient goods, which also support laws and changing views about aviation’s influence on the environment, leading to an increase in the use of composites. Design, certification and manufacturing efficiencies as well as improvements in the cost and quality of production systems have been major facilitators in realising these potential and allowing the composite sector to grow.

     

    Composites materials are critical to UK aerospace and to the industry’s future success in whole aircraft, aerostructures, propulsion and systems markets due their ability to provide high-quality solutions for a range of products. It is essential for the UK to understand future requirements and support development of technologies and enabling capabilities in composites.

    High performance aircraft with long range point to point capabilities are also needed, both for wide body and narrow body aircraft alike In order to satisfy these demands, composites are essential It’s possible that the UK’s aerospace supply chain could benefit from new and updated platform development programmes across aircraft segments, and the UK’s composites sector will play a key role in this by supplying high performance, smart mobility solutions for electric aircraft.

     

    Materials composites are widely utilised in aeroplane interiors and exteriors. Composites’ low weight and high-tensile strength enhance fuel economy and decrease maintenance costs, while also allowing OEMs to comply with the strict environmental requirements imposed in Europe and North America. Airframe constructions for new aircraft from major manufacturers like Boeing, such as their 787, 777X and A350XWB models, use a considerable proportion of carbon fibre composites (around 50% of structural weight).
