The AVK Innovation Awards for 2025 highlight several cutting-edge innovations in the field of fiber-reinforced plastics.
- An aircraft heating system utilizing carbon fibers
- TFP-based spatial CFRP structure frame
- Processes for recycling GFRP, UD TPC tapes, and engineered polymers
Notably, NCAMP documentation aims to lower barriers for adoption and shorten customer design timelines, enabling faster commercial aerospace, defense, and AAM qualification.
Additionally, CompositesAI integrates with AnalySwift's VABS and SwiftComp software to streamline the design, simulation, and performance evaluation of composite structures, particularly for rotor blades, shells, and panels.
A recent acquisition has bolstered Archer's patent portfolio by adding approximately 300 patent assets covering current and next-gen eVTOL technologies.
A significant development is the Oder Bridge near Küstrin, a heavy rail bridge using 88 CFRP tension members, developed by Carbo-Link and tested by Empa, allowing for 120 km/hr train speeds with reduced weight and emissions.
