Description:
Composites have for a long time threatened to revolutionise the aerospace industry. They bring along the promises of more tailorable structures and most importantly reduced structural weight. The use of composites has indeed drastically increased in the last 40 years. However, in practice, they have not fully delivered on their promises. Manufacturing, cost and serviceability, amongst other things, remain big challenges while the weight savings have not really materialized. This presentation will take the audience through some of these challenges and attempt to give an objective perspective on the state of development of composites. It will also try to show a brief overview of different directions of research.
Speaker Bio:
Julien Chaussee is an Engineering Specialist in the Advanced Structures team at Bombardier Aerospace. He graduated from Cranfield University in the UK, with an MSc in Aerospace Vehicle Design in 2003. Following this he joined Airbus UK on their graduate training program during which he worked in various areas of the business, before settling in the Composites Wing Research team. There, he worked on projects such as the Advanced Low Cost Composite Wing and had the opportunity to support various European research projects and internal aircraft developments. In 2008, he joined the Airbus Future Project Office, where he worked on the development and structural integration of future Airbus wings. In 2011, Julien was recruited by Bombardier Aerospace to join the Advanced Structures team, where he is now working. His role includes research on topics such additive manufacture, composite and metallic structures, Multi-disciplinary optimisation as well as structural integration of future products.
