Webinar: Composite Materials for Missiles and Launchers
Webinar Date: November 18, 2020
Time: 9 am MST
Launching satellites, payloads, and or weapons into space creates the ultimate performance challenge for composite materials. In addition to low weight and high stiffness, the materials also need to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations while maintaining shape and function, high dynamic and vibration loads at launch and re-entry, and very high temperatures for hypersonic systems. The webinar will review the materials requirements for missiles and launchers and Hexcel solutions including carbon fiber, unidirectional and fabric prepregs, honeycomb core, and additive manufactured components.
