Lighter vehicles, whether on the roads or in the air, use less fuel and reduce carbon emissions. Just as in the automotive industry, lightweighting is the Holy Grail for aerospace. Some of those advances include improvements in the composites themselves, but others involve enhancements in manufacturing machinery the software used for machine control, and also for simulation assembly techniques and inspection equipment. The aerospace industry continues to increase its use of composites, a phenomenon that’s pushing academics, trade groups and manufacturers to research and develop methods to enhance the techniques and tools for using the materials.
