Research abstract
ABSTRACT: General Nano is partnering with Top 3 prime to develop next generation composite systems for air vehicles. The core technology involves integrating lightweight, conductive CNT non-woven sheet materials into aerospace qualified prepreg. The program builds from initial Air Force SBIR investment in long Carbon Nanotube development and manufacturing. BENEFIT: Reduce parasitic weight and enable magnitudes of order improvement in electrical and thermal conductivity while also reducing manufacturing costs by reducing scrap. Air vehicles will get increased range, longer time on station, increased payload capacity, longer product lifetimes, and reduces manufacturing costs.
