Connecting aircraft structuresLaser technology for easier flying
The Fraunhofer IWS has made progress towards new ecological aircraft construction concepts. As part of the EU's Clean Sky 2 program, a team of researchers from Dresden demonstrated the chipless joining of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic component structures in the Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD) project.
