Safety Concerns Raised Over Composites

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, 11:00 am. 

Composites are at the core of the technologically advanced aircraft, including Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner. The webinar's expert panelists will discuss safety concerns, including faster spreading and more toxic fires.

The webinar will also examine how heavily composite aircraft, such as the Dreamliner, the Eclipse 500 and the Adam 700, are revolutionizing the aviation industry.

And Aviation Today's webinar will explore how composites are affecting the daily realities and bottom lines of aviation companies in all niches.

How composites are transforming traditional manufacturing; the competitive advantages of composites; and, the unintended hazards and dangers of composites are also on the agenda, along with how composites will affect the MRO field and why Boeing has embraced these materials at a record level for its commercial transports.

Speakers will include Hans Weber, a noted aviation engineer, Ramon Lopez, editor of the Air Safety Week newsletter, and Joy Finnegan, editor-in-chief, Aviation Maintenance magazine.
