A new tendency in the aeronautics composites

  The aeronautics sector has always been a great investor of new technologies that contribute to greater efficiency, safety and performance for nowadays aircrafts, after all, to transport thousands of people every day at speeds above 800 Km /h in average altitudes of 11,000 meters is no joke.
  To make this reality possible, many investments aiming for safety, efficiency and profitability are made, leading to an industry in constant technological development.

  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:
