This project seeks to develop innovative composite circumferential components to increase the competitiveness of UK aerospace manufacturing in the international market. It supports the green initiatives of the global aerospace sector of weight reduction and lowering carbon emissions. The project is split into 8 work packages to be completed over a 4 year period and will look to deliver product innovation with complex pipes, flexible integrated transmission shafts, and braided pressure vessels. This will be enabled by significant material, process, and technology innovation in tailored resin systems, advanced braiding, and ballscrew press Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) utilising novel extractable mandrels.

This project will create new fire-resistant composites for aircraft interiors that provide high-quality surface finishes, thereby eliminating the need for costly post-moulding remedial work.
