The ComposItes UK Aerospace Sector Showcase
The Composites UK Aerospace Sector Showcase returns on Thursday 19th April 2018 at AMRC in Sheffield.
Fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are used in aerospace in applications such as engine blades, brackets, interiors, nacelles, propellers/rotors, single aisle wings, wide body wings and more. Join us for a series of case study presentations looking at recent success stories and technical developments, accompanied by ten table-top exhibitors who already supply composite solutions into the aerospace industry.
