Hexcel at Paris Air Show 2017: Le Bourget, June 19-25

13.06.2017

At this year's Paris Airshow Hexcel is promoting a range of carbon fibers and composite materials that are used to manufacture high performance weight-saving structures in civil aircraft, engines, helicopters, and space applications.

Hexcel is a recognized innovator in carbon fiber development, providing a full range of High Strength and Intermediate Modulus fibers for the aerospace industry. In an ongoing drive to develop materials that offer a wide range of design and cost/value propositions for the composite structures for the future Hexcel has launched two new products that will be promoted at the show.

At Paris Air Show Hexcel will display a C295 outer wing box demonstrator panel manufactured with HiTape® reinforcement by Airbus Defence and Space as part of the APOLO-Cleansky2 project. The HiTape® preforms for the skin, stringer and spars were laid-up by robot in an automated process and then co-infused with Hexcel HexFlow® epoxy resin RTM6 in a cost-efficient out-of-autoclave process. This part demonstrates that HiTape® technology is an efficient composite solution for primary aircraft structures and a viable option to meet production rates and cost requirements for new aerospace programs.
