GKN Aerospace is heavily involved in the manufacture of the composite wings for the new Airbus A350 aircraft. George Marsh visited the company's Filton, UK, site to see the composites technologies...
Technology for extracting power from waves is still very much at the developmental stage, but it is already well known that devices in which the waves set up an oscillation work better if they can...
The manufacture of wind turbine blades has been based on thermoset composite technology, but thermoplastic composites could offer recyclability and other advantages. George Marsh reports on the...
The renewable energy industry suffers from intermittent wind but the conditions can be cured. That, at least is the tenor of a number of recent studies and reports. Even transmission operators who...
As we anticipate the long-awaited first flight of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, George Marsh reviews the history of this high-profile composites project.
George Marsh looks at the composites expertise of Baltic Yachts.
George Marsh investigates the use of FRP pipes in water and sewage applications.
The wind power market has been a huge success story for the composites industry. Is the developing wave and tidal energy sector going to prove the same?
Reinforced Plastics investigates the tricky, and increasingly topical, problem of recycling carbon fibre reinforced composites.
GE Aviation's site at Hamble, alongside Southampton Water on the UK's south coast, has a heritage to be proud of, but it is to the future that Mike Neave, VP Engineering and Business Development,...
George Marsh looks at the high speed composite boats used by law enforcement agencies.
Ship and boat builders (many superyachts are more ship than boat) are achieving superyacht distinction and augmenting seaworthiness by placing composite superstructures on hulls of steel or aluminium.
