Aircraft Composites Raise Safety Concerns

Emerging safety concerns about composites will be the focus of the next AviationToday webinar - Aircraft Composites: How New Materials are Forever Changing Aviation, scheduled for Thursday, November 15, 11 a.m.  Composites are at the core of the technological aircraft, manufacturing and maintenance changes for VLJs and are becoming an increasingly large part of all aircraft including Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. The webinar's panelists will discuss safety concerns including faster and more toxic fires and will also examine how composite aircraft, such as the 787, the Eclipse 500 and Adam 700, are revolutionizing the aviation industry. AviationToday's webinar will explore how composites are affecting the daily realities and bottom lines of aviation companies in all niches. Some examples of this are: how composites are transforming traditional manufacturing; the competitive advantages of composites; the unintended hazards and dangers of composites; how composites will affect the MRO field; and why Boeing has embraced these materials at this record level for its commercial aircraft. Speakers for this webinar include Joy Finnegan, editor-in-chief, Aviation Maintenance magazine and Ramon Lopez, editor-in-chief of the weekly newsletter Air Safety Week.
