Lightweight Construction – From Lab To Air

A presentation by Akaflieg Karlsruhe, Volocopter and Fraunhofer at the University-Club (kfg)

Lightweight construction using fiber-reinforced plastics plays a crucial role in the future of aviation. These materials offer numerous advantages, such as high strength and rigidity. However, their production also presents new challenges for the aviation industry. We aim to discuss these challenges and the ongoing research on potential solutions with you at our University Club.
