Efficient wind turbine blade production relies on smart release agents – Part 2

Today's large wind turbine blades need to come out of the mould right the first time, with no defects. An important contributor to this is a mould release system which assists in extracting the blades...

Composites poised to transform airline economics – Part 2

Modern passenger aircraft that represent a quantum leap in composites adoption and a commensurate improvement in airline economics, are now entering service or will soon be doing so. In Part 2 of this...

Infusing quality at Discovery Yachts

Why composite boat builders such as Discovery Yachts are moving from wet lay-up to the resin infusion process.

Composites poised to transform airline economics – Part 1

Modern passenger aircraft that represent a quantum leap in composites adoption, and a commensurate improvement in airline economics, are now entering service or will soon be doing so. We review the...

Blade Dynamics offers an innovative response to wind blade scale challenge

A startlingly different approach to scaling up wind turbine rotors is that advocated by Blade Dynamics Ltd, a young company located in the Isle of Wight, UK, and New Orleans, USA. Blade Dynamics...

Opportunities for composites in wind farm service vessels (Part 3)

The continued development of offshore wind farms has created a growing market for support boats to transfer personnel and equipment to the turbines. We see why the manufacturers of these vessels are...
