New materials shaping better performing aero-structures | Clean Sky
Developing a new process and technique to improve the
mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of CFRP
(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) laminates : This was the
challenge met by the Budapest University of Technology and
Economics (BME) supported by the 3rd Call for proposals of
Clean Sky as part of 'Green Regional Aircraft '.
To achieve this, BME added nanoparticles into the carbon
fibre itself and into the epoxy resin matrix to obtain a fully
nanoparticle filled material.This will be used in carbon fibre
reinforced aeronautical structures. As a result of the
research project, two patent applications have been filled
in.

X-51A Waverider Achieves History In Final Flight | Aero-News Network
Hypersonic Scramjet Achieves Speed Of Mach 5.1
The final flight of the X-51A Waverider test program has
accomplished a breakthrough in the development of flight
reaching Mach 5.1 over the Pacific Ocean on May 1 a little
after 10 a.m. Pacific Time. "It was a full mission success,"
said Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager for the Air
Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate.

Boeing Gives Go-Ahead For 777X Marketing | Aero-News Network
No Final Decision Yet On Whether The Aircraft Will Actually
Be Built
Boeing has reportedly begun talks with potential customers
for its next-generation triple-7 airplane, for now called the
777X. And while the board has not yet given a green light
for production of the new model, it has started a marketing
effort to generate interest in the plane.
