Ultra-efficient engines
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 12
• higher engine weight
• strengthened, heavier wing structure
• less fuel carrying capability
• lower range
• More powerful & efficient engine
Materials comparison
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 13
50% of structure weight = carbon
composite
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 14
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 15
Benefits of composites in aircraft:
• reduced fuel consumption and CO2
emissions
• less corrosion & fatigue than for
traditional aluminum structure:
– 787: major overhaul every 13 years instead of
every 6 years
– more comfort through higher moisture content
– larger windows
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 16
Aerospace OEM objectives:
• Reduce cost
• Reduce weight
• Improve repair and maintenance
• Environmentally friendly materials
and processes

Business opportunities through TAPAS
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 36
• Business case opportunities can now be developed, based on TRL 5/6:
– business jet tails
– airliner flaps
– large airliner rudders, elevators
• Still needing further development (TRL 3):
– fuselage structure

JEC Paris 2013: 80% automotive
• drive to limit CO2 emissions
• more electric cars
• weight reduction through new materials
• these must be:
– recyclable
– affordable
TAPAS & TAPAS2, Juni 2013 46
Trend in automotive
• thermoplastic composites:
– processing with cycles times shorter than 1 minute
– lower cost matrices (PP, PA)
