Composites are fibre-reinforced plastics, that offer many exciting advantages such as low weight, no corrosion, excellent fatigue resistance, tailorable mechanical properties, freedom of shape and the possibility to integrate new functionalities in the material. These advantages are already used in many composite products that have revolutionised the existing performance and changed the mindset of the market.
At Airborne we have all the engineering capabilities and manufacturing processes in house to develop and produce composite components, and we are constantly pushing the envelope in performance and cost-efficiency of composites.
Listed below are our technologies and capabilities. Enjoy reading and discover how these exciting technologies work, and how they can help you to innovate your product.
