NCC, Dstl facilitate R&D program for combat aircraft composite structures
Photo Credit: NCC The National Composites Centre (NCC, Bristol, U.K.) and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl, Salisbury, U.K.) have formed a partnership to explore next-generation combat aircraft composite structures through the Advanced Design of Composites Structures for Future Combat Aircraft (ADCoSCA) program. This will range from innovative approaches, overall structural layout, manufacturing and assembly, as well as the combination of detail features, and material selection. Leading this through their joint steering group, the program will include a balance of in...
