New carbon composite a potential ‘game changer’ for aerospace manufacturing and other industries

Advaero Technologies has successfully completed initial trials of a revolutionary carbon composite product utilizing a unique fabric technology and Advaero’s new patent-pending HVAR™ resin infusion process. The company developed the composite product as a member of a global consortium that includes Stanford University’s Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics and Chomarat Textile Industries, the aim of which is to develop and test advanced composite structures using “Thin Ply Bi-Angle Non-Crimp Fiber” technology. The consortium is developing what is being described as the next generation of carbon composites.  The materials are expected to become widely used in aerospace manufacturing and by other industries requiring light weight and high strength structures.  Utilizing Advaero’s novel resin infusion process, the higher strength-to-weight performance of this new composite and the projected lower processing costs are significant – making it particularly attractive and potentially a “game changer” in the manufacture of commercial aircraft components.
