Dear colleagues,
As the global trends toward CO2 reduction and resource efficiency increase, so too does the importance
of lightweight materials in aviation. Rising fuel costs per seat represent the greatest driver in searching for innovative lightweight structures despite significant improvements in airframes, engines and lighter-weight interior components, fuel costs, as a percentage of overall fleet operating costs, continue to rise. As we enter a new age of aviation, it is clear that the industry is focused on finding new and exciting ways of using lightweight materials. However, the use of lightweight structures must also be feasible and purchasing, implementation, operational, and after-usage aspects must also be considered. In times of increasingly longer flight distances and tough perceived differentiation between airplanes, comfort
cannot be sacrificed.
Additionally, the development of stricter environmental regulations and customers’ environmental concerns, highlight the importance of strategies for disposal and re-cycling of used lightweight materials.
At these two conference days and two specialist workshops you will have the opportunity to exchange
and discuss experiences on the latest approaches towards saving weight, reducing costs and ensuring
operational excellence.
I look forward to meeting you in Hamburg!
Kind regards,
Karolina Edge
