How the Composite Revolution Affects You
An Aviation Today Webinar

Wednesday, March 31, 2010
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (ET)


$297 per site location.

The increasing prevalence of composites in aircraft construction affects all segments of the aviation industry, whether its rotorcraft, avionics, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO), aircraft manufacturing, or air safety.  This "composite revolution" also affects all personnel levels – from the maintenance shop floor to the cockpit to the executive suite.

That's why Aviation Today has put together this new webinar – to answer the questions you have about these miracle materials. This online event will explain how composites are radically changing the way pilots fly, mechanics repair, and OEMs strategize.

This webinar is interactive, allowing you to pose questions to the speakers. So, if you have any question as it relates to composites, it WILL get answered.

You'll learn:

  • How composites are profoundly transforming aircraft manufacturing. What do OEMs such as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer, Bell Helicopter, Eurocopter, AgustaWestland, and the rest need to accomplish, to get ready for this brave new world of aircraft construction? What can they learn from successful early adopters, such as Boeing and its 787 Dreamliner?
  • Sophisticated – and fragile – avionics suites are increasingly wrapped in protective composite cocoons. What do avionics companies such as Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Raytheon, Thales, BAE Systems, and others need to know about the complexities of composite handling?
  • How engine makers such as Rolls-Royce, Turbomeca, General Electric, and Pratt & Whitney are adapting to composites and what it means for their customers.
  • Why the increasing use of composites makes MRO training more vital.
  • The competitive advantages of composites. They help reduce aviation's carbon footprint, but how can they help air carriers and OEMs make money? How will the greater fuel efficiency and speed that composites convey eventually open up new routes for passengers – and new uses for operators?
  • The unintended safety concerns of composites. How can aircraft manufacturers and operators relying on composites prepare for and cope with these safety issues?
