Even under extreme stress, materials and structures used in aerospace technology must be light in weight – and reliable, stiff and resistant at the same time. Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials meet all of these requirements.

The SGL Group covers the complete value chain in its own production facilities in Europe and the US. Structural components made from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic are used, for example, to stabilize the vertical tail plane rib truss assembly of the new A380 large-capacity aircraft. In addition, our high-performance brake disks incorporating carbon fiber-reinforced carbon bring aircraft to a safe halt.
