Mechanical hardware
The aerospace industry has always been a forerunner for new technology and innovation, and the ability to reduce construction weight is a major advantage in this field. This is where CFRP structures come into play.
CFRPs
CFRPs (carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers) — also referred to as carbon fibre or carbon composite — are strong, lightweight, plastics reinforced with carbon fibres.
Although CFRPs can be expensive to produce, they are commonly used in aerospace and technical applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness.
CFRPs consist of two parts: a matrix and a reinforcement. The matrix is generally a thermosetting plastic that binds the reinforcements together, while the reinforcement typically consists of carbon fibre, which is what makes a CFRP.
Construction features
Using CFRPs in primary and secondary structures reduces the overall construction weight and achieves mechanical peak values in terms of part strength and stiffness.
