                      MFFD – thermoplastics instead of aluminium in aircraft construction

                      Aluminium has been the go-to material for aircraft construction for many years, with continuous improvements in production. However, with the focus now on sustainability and climate-friendly aviation, new solutions are needed.

                      18.07.2023 – Airframer

                      MFFD – using thermoplastics to replace aluminium in aircraft construction

                      For decades, aluminium has predominated in the construction of aircraft, with production continuously optimised over that time. However, this approach is no longer sufficient for sustainable, climate-friendly air transport.
