The major end-users in the aerospace industry are Airbus and Boeing. The proportion of composites in new generations of aircraft is increasing. This applies to parts for the fuselage and wings as well as for the interior. In 2014, the market group is expected to increase its revenues and result due to increasing production for aircraft for which qualifications have been received. TenCate revenues from the aerospace industry box) and whether they will be comfortable during declined in 2012 and the first half of 2013 as a result the journey. This is in part determined by the cabin of delays in deliveries for the Airbus A380 and A350 pressure and humidity and whether one is sitting and the Boeing 787. After this period, however, comfortably. TenCate Advanced Composites USA revenues and profitability increased: the TenCate currently supplies many composite materials to both Advanced Composites market group recorded a 16 US and European aircraft seat manufacturers. One percent increase in revenues in 2013. The market for of these customers is Geven, an Italian company aerospace composites showed strong growth, and manufacturing aircraft seats and interiors. The good progress was made in the latest generation of American company Cutting Dynamics has used aircraft. The order book for the Boeing 787, which TenCate composite to make a lightweight, slim seat is important to TenCate, has more than 900 aircraft frame with high crashworthiness (up to 16G). listed in it. The order book at Airbus for the A350 is also well filled, containing over 800 aircraft. The French company Expliseat has made an aircraft seat weighing a mere 4 kilos, based on Radomes a combination of titanium and TenCate composite. Increasing opportunities for communication during This provides a saving on fuel of up to €370,000 passenger flights, especially in the United States, a year for each A320 or B737.

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT The objective of this research article was investigated to evaluate tensile and flexural properties of Glass-fiber-Reinforced Aluminium (Glare) laminates as well as Aluminium sheets of same thickness. In addition to that the tensile and flexural strength of Glare laminates were compared with values of aluminium sheets. In this article, the aluminium based FMLs were fabricated using hand layup technique and cut as per ASTM standards. Three types of layers such as 2/1 Glare, 3/2 Glare and 5/4 Glare laminates were prepared. Computer controlled UTM machine used to determine the tensile, flexural properties and failure mode of the Glare laminates and Plain aluminium sheets with same thickness. From the test results the graphs were plotted for load vs displacement, tensile and flexural strength vs layers thickness. It shows that tensile and flexural strength of Glass-fiber-Reinforced Aluminium (Glare) laminates purely depend on the volume percentage of fibre and it exhibits improvement over the properties of aluminium sheets. Keywords: Glass-fiber-Reinforced Aluminium laminates (Glare), aluminium sheet, hand lay-up technique, tensile property and flexural property.
