The AVK Innovation Awards for 2025 have been announced, highlighting several key innovations in the field of fiber-reinforced plastics.
- An aircraft heating system utilizing carbon fibers
- A TFP-based spatial CFRP structure frame
- Processes for recycling GFRP, UD TPC tapes, and engineered polymers
Notably, NCAMP documentation is set to lower barriers for adoption and shorten customer design timelines, enabling faster commercial aerospace, defense, and AAM qualification.
Additionally, CompositesAI's integration with AnalySwift's VABS and SwiftComp software aims to streamline the design, simulation, and performance evaluation of composite structures, particularly for rotor blades, shells, and panels.
In other news, an acquisition has bolstered Archer's patent portfolio by adding approximately 300 patent assets covering current and next-gen eVTOL technologies.
The Oder Bridge near Küstrin, developed by Carbo-Link and tested by Empa, is a notable example of innovation, using 88 CFRP tension members to enable 120 km/hr train speeds with reduced weight and emissions.
