An example of that is a new composite technology, developed and patented by the company Safran, which consists in a manufacture of aircrafts blades and nacelles lighter than the traditional ones by using a new 3D reinforcement made in carbon fiber with a ceramic Matrix. This new combination will provide to the new manufactured components a higher thermal performance by withstanding to temperatures up to 1,300 °C, and a weight decrease by reducing the weight of the engines by 250 kg (10% of its total average weight), thereby reducing the fuel consumption as well. These and other benefits can be checked in the dynamic video below: For more information, access: https://www.safran-group.com/aviation

According to the report titled "Fiberglass Fabric Market by Fiber Type, Fabric Type, Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022" made by Report Buyer, the key factor that will drive the growth of the fiberglass market in the coming years will be the increasing demand of sectors such as wind energy, nautical, electrical and electronics and transport for corrosion and heat resistant, lightweight and high strength materials.
Based on the types of glass fibers, the type known as E-glass, which is the most widely known and used in the world, is considered the favorite candidate for a rapid growth in terms of value during the coming years by being cost-efficient and by offering a wide range of properties such as corrosion resistance, lightweight, high electrical insulation and moderate strength. The market growth estimated by region is the following: • North America - 10%; • Europe - 45%; • Africa and the Middle East - 10%; • Asia - 30%; • Latin America - 5%; The report also includes analysis and profiles of the largest glass fiber manufacturers in the world, comparing the reinforcements used.
