Aerocomp - Composite Experts

Aerocomp is the UK's leading supplier of outsourced composite design and analysis services.

CFRPs (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers) are used extensively in the aerospace industry. Layers of unidirectional fibre can be placed at different orientations to maximise the stiffness and strength of the structure where it is most needed. Composite Aerostructures such as helicopter blades can therefore be optimised to achieve maximum performance

Did you know that Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers have found a lot of use in high-end sports equipment such as racing bicycles. With CFRP frames, performance can be tailored to increase strength and/or stiffness whilst still being able to reduce weight over conventional Aluminium or Steel frames

Did you know that there are approximately 2,500 satellites orbiting the earth. The majority are in geostationary orbit, which means that their speed matches the rate of the Earth’s rotation. Composite structures are a vital part of space technology due to a high strength to weight ratio.

Polymers reinforced with carbon and/or glass fibres have a wide range of applications from high performance motorsport to aerospace; in fact improved manufacturing processes have led to composite structures being increasingly used in many consumer goods such as laptop chassis and cases, fishing rods and even musical instruments.
