Today’s rail vehicles use composites widely in their interiors, but exteriors are still mainly metal. The latest aircraft, however, are 50% composite – including their load-bearing primary structures....

We report on how the increasing use of composites in commercial aircraft is creating questions about the best way to repair these materials.
The continued evolution of composites materials means than boat building today is very different from the way it was in its infancy three decades ago. We visit Green Marine to see the state of the art...
Bombardier Aerospace says its CSeries will deliver a 20% fuel burn advantage, 15% lower operating costs and 25% lower maintenance costs compared to other aircraft in its class. The aircraft's...
