Project overview

Project title

Design for Sustainability of High-Rate, Out-of-Autoclave Advanced Composite Processes

Project description

This Project will evaluate data-driven optimisation of aerospace composite processing steps using model-based engineering (MBE). The expected outcome is to design the best solution to meet business drivers of performance, cost and rate for the fabrication of composite structures fabricated. This will help reduce environmental impact by achieving aerospace quality and rate requirements.
