Composite materials have been adopted in many industries for a wide range of applications due to the strong mechanical and highly conductive properties that can replace metallic structures. One prime example is in the modern aerospace industry. Combined with the advantages of being light and flexible, composite materials have the capabilities to shield the aircraft from electromagnetic interference and to protect the aircraft from lightning strikes.
Utilizing proprietary heating technologies, Veelo Technologies’ is helping reduce costs and increase production of composite parts that will be used on the fifth-generation combat aircraft. Veelo will provide VeeloHEAT Cauls and VeeloHEAT composite repair blankets based on the company’s novel heating technology.
