DESCRIPTION:Example of a project combining advanced manufacturing\, aerospace and textile: automated production line of textile composites for aeronautical applications. \nAbout the session:\nComposites for aeronautical applications have been developed for several decades and their implementation has been largely mastered. It is wide-body aircraft\, performance-oriented programs that have led to an increase in the use of composites in aero-structures. Thus\, the designs\, processes and means of implementation developed correspond to this field of application. The state of the art in the manufacture of composite structures cannot be transposed in this as-is state to production rates of 5 or 6 times higher. IRT project evaluates the ability of textile technologies to meet high production rates of the aeronautics industry for large scale parts and complex geometry. \n \n \n \n \n \n Agenda:\nDay: April 30th 2021Schedule:  11 am to 11.45 am CEST (Brussels time) \n\n5 min intro and welcome by EMC2\n25 min “The Wing project – automated production line of textile composites for aeronautical application”” by Marie Weiss (IRT Jules Verne) and Olivier Preziosa (IRT Jules Verne)\n15 min Q&A\n\nAbout the speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  Marie Weiss\, Head of Europe Unit (IRT Jules Verne)\nMarie Weiss is Head of Europe Unit at IRT Jules Verne.
