The article focuses on interpreting composite drawings, particularly those used in aerospace structures in aircraft designing. Topics include understanding fiber orientation symbols, ply definition diagrams, and reading ply tables and notes to interpret the laminate construction and materials used in the composite part.

The article offers discusses about the factors impacting the porosity, voids and bridging in prepreg autoclave and vacuum bag-only laminates which arise due to material selection, layup and/or bagging procedures, tooling and design. The article further discusses about the impact on various forms of fabric, Honeycomb sandwich panels and molding.

The article focuses on ThermHex Waben's thermoplastic polypropylene honeycomb panels, which offer high mechanical performance and surface quality, making them suitable for lightweight applications in various industries, such as automotive, transport, wind and solar, logistics, B&C, and furniture.

The article focuses on a collaboration between EconCore, Airbus, the Technical University of Denmark, and Fraunhofer to develop a potentially recyclable rudder made from thermoplastic honeycomb sandwich composites for an Airbus A320 aircraft, aiming to replace the current rudder structure.
