I.C.S. Aeronautics Forum - March 29, 10:30am – 1:00pm: New challenges & opportunities in the aerospace industry

Aeronautics Forum on March 29 morning: New challenges & opportunities in the aerospace industry
This year JEC Europe Aeronautics Forum will stage the prestigious participation of Airbus, Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, Premium Aerotech, Safran and the University of Washington.

Advancements for a wide range of applications for the next generation of integrated composites aerostructures will be put forward. The topics discussed will develop the composite intensive airframes with an exclusive overview on Airbus A350 XWB & Boeing B787 Dreamliner. A special focus on the increasing use of advanced composite materials regarding the new eco-friendly aircraft engine is also to be underlined.

In the near future, thanks to the engineering and manufacturing development together with design, test and analysis, time will impart the competitive advantage of composite structures over metallic structures.

Seats are limited so make sure to secure your seat to this high-value added Forum by reserving now.
