EL MONTE - What's made on the ground at M.C. Gill Corp. will one day be flying 30,000 feet in the air. The El Monte company, which manufactures advanced composite materials used in passenger and freight aircraft, was recently recognized by The Boeing Co. as one of its top suppliers for 2007.
DAYTON -- The University of Dayton Research Institute's newest multi-year assignment for the Air Force involves developing and testing hybrid and advanced composite materials that could serve multiple functions in next-generation military aircraft. UDRI researchers will guide work with materials that could withstand extreme temperatures, conduct heat to remove it from sensitive electronic equipment and serve as sensors to self- diagnose deterioration in materials within aircraft structures. The materials, in some cases, could store energy and be more lightweight than conventional aircraft materials, reducing the plane's weight and allowing the carrying of more cargo.
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- The Air Force is testing a military cargo plane, built in part with composite materials, to demonstrate ways of making aircraft manufacturing simpler, cheaper and less timeconsuming. The Air Force Research Laboratory and contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. said they completed an initial demonstration flight of the plane Tuesday, at Palmdale, Calif.
The Bush administration is imposing new controls on high- technology exports to China, aimed at preventing illegal diversion of goods that are boosting Beijing's large-scale military buildup, a senior commerce official says. David H. McCormick, commerce undersecretary for industry and security, said in an interview that the proposed restrictions, announced last week, are a "substantial" revision of export controls that would limit 47 areas of high-technology exports, ranging from aircraft to machine tools, to composite materials used in radar- evading stealth aircraft.
Air Force lab says composite material holds up in tests WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- The Air Force Research Laboratory is overseeing tests of ceramic matrix composite materials that could be used in high-powered engines and heat shields on military and commercial aircraft.
Alliant Techsystems Inc., a maker of rocket motors for the U.S. space shuttle fleet, aims to triple sales of light-weight composite materials by winning parts orders for new commercial aircraft. The company, which has 4,585 employees in Utah at seven facilities, wants to post $1 billion in composites sales within five to 10 years, Chief Financial Officer John Shroyer said Monday in an interview.
