Why High-Performance Polymers are Critical for Aerospace Applications
Aircraft ranging from unmanned aerial systems, to commercial airliners, to small recreational craft have an incredible number of subsystems and underlying components. This guide focuses on some of the specific application areas for high-performance polymers, such as landing gear, avionics, engines, and body components and demonstrates how TriStar’s portfolio of advanced materials can be leveraged to solve tough aerospace engineering challenges.
Highlights Include:
- A breakdown of the unique challenges regarding reliability, wear and friction resistance, broad temperature support, and tight tolerance standards and how these can all be addressed with careful plastic material selection.
- Information about specific materials, such as Rulon®, Meldin®, and CJ Composites, and the many benefits they provide.
- Aerospace engineering success stories showing how polymer components have been applied to everything from next-gen supersonic aircraft to vintage DHC-2 Beaver Alaskan air charter airplanes.
