內容簡介In the past several issues of HPG, we have outlined the current and future market for advanced composites in the manufacturing of aircraft. In each case (see "Learn More," p. 47), the number of new aircraft forecasted to be produced over the next 10 years represents significant growth. For aircraft manufacturers in the commercial transport category, growth predictions for new and replacement aircraft have soared to unprecedented heights in anticipation of air traffic to, from, and within emerging Asian economies. Critically, demand from airline customers for greater fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs in these new aircraft has dictated that airframers pursue weight reduction and advanced airframe design. That, in turn, has put a very bright spotlight on composite solutions. Robust demand for jet aircraft necessarily dictates corresponding growth in the production of jet engines, and the same forces are shaping the future of jet engine design. As a result, demand is growing rapidly for composites manufacturing capacity sufficient to supply the increasing number of engine parts that will undergo composite-for-metal replacement.
