The National Aerospace Laboratory in the Netherlands (NLR) and Airborne have formed a strategic partnership on resin transfer moulding (RTM) technology.
Under the partnership, both companies will develop new, differentiating RTM technologies to create new business opportunities in the field of complex and highly-loaded aerospace structures.
The structures include load-introduction structures, fittings, hinges, ribs, beams, frames and engine components, which are currently made of metal.
RTM is a novel composite manufacturing technology fit for thick-walled, highly integrated structures.
Airborne will invest in the RTM facility in Spain, which is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2012.
