(Xenia, Ohio, U.S.) and its fabrication division Hawthorn Composites (Xenia) are seeking to demonstrate that more cost-effective, less labor-intensive aerocomposite parts can be manufactured through the use of existing technologies — such as resin infusion and braided dry fiber preforms — in new ways.
