Description

The markets for polymers and composites in aerospace applications have been on a very high growth path since the early 2000's, with the introduction of game changing aircraft models such as Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Recent market conditions, including the high price of aircraft fuel and the need to improve the fuel efficiency of aircraft to lessen their environmental impact has seen the usage of light weight composites and polymers gaining further impetus in aerospace applications. This research service analyses the impact of the above forces across the polymers and composites supply chain.
