TenCate signs supply contract with EADS and its subsidiary Airbus SAS including Airbus A350 XWB
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TenCate Advanced Composites Europe today announces that an enabled material
contract has been signed to supply TenCate Cetex® carbon fabric laminates for
use in the new Airbus A350 XWB among other EADS applications. Based on this
award the delivery of TenCate Cetex® will start towards several Tier 1 and Tier
2 partners of Airbus that produce fuselage panels and components for the Airbus
A350 XWB.
TenCate Cetex® material - that can be characterized as high strength and low
weight - will be applied to the stiffening structure of the body of the Airbus
A350 XWB. Frank Meurs, group director of TenCate Advanced Composites, explains:
'Our thermoplastic material is already used in existing Airbus programs, amongst
others the Airbus A380. These advanced fabric reinforced thermoplastic composite
materials are already used for many structural and semi-structural exterior as
well as interior applications in aircraft. With the supply of TenCate Cetex®
material to the Airbus A350 XWB program, the importance of light and moldable
thermoplastic material is once again underlined. One of the advantages of the
application of thermoplastic composite is the ability for the serial production
in large numbers'.
