…Technologies Principal Investigator: Raytheon Technologies Research Center Project Team: Carnegie Mellon University, Wason Technology LLC, and Collins Aerospace Project Description: Lightweight carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CF-TPCs) are internationally recognized as a material capable of meeting the future aerospace market high-rate demands and providing sustainability benefits. One key contributor to the rapid manufacturing rate of CF-TPCs is its capability to be welded instead of using traditional time-consuming adhesive bonding and or mechanical fastening. Currently, three heat generation methods dominate the application and development of welding TPC; however, currently these are mostly not accepted for complex aircraft structures. This project seeks…
