Engineering Plastics for Aircraft
Reduce Weight, Enhance Reliability, Lower Maintenance Costs
Aircraft designers and manufacturers seek ways to reduce weight, improve efficiency, and enhance both reliability and performance. Engineering plastics are playing a critical role—replacing metals, cutting fuel costs, extending wear life, and helping manufacturers meet strict industry standards.
This webinar explores how engineering and high-performance plastics can improve aircraft system performance and reduce maintenance costs by addressing challenges in wings, nacelles, engines, landing gear, fuel systems, HVAC, electronics, and more.
Webinar Topics Include:
- How and why plastics are used in today’s aircraft
- When plastics offer advantages over metals
- Considerations for selecting plastics in aircraft applications
- Emerging opportunities for plastics in aviation
