- Aircraft composite fuselage assembly time reduction by 50%
- Reduction of design to test time by 20%
- Production of enhanced panels for airplane fuselage
- Production of RTM windows
- Overall airplane weight reduction by 10%
- Reduction of metal structures use on airplane
- 5% cost reduction via development cost enhancements
Research-influenced changes in policy, agenda-setting
At the end of MAAXIMUS project, it is expected that national research policy will better digest the importance of composite and RTM use in aviation.
The provision of Improved Public Goods
With development of RTM and composite technology for aircraft production, added value is created and utilized by aircraft producers, airline trasporters etc.
The improved exercise of professional skill
- RTM production capability
- Enhancement on existing composite production abilities,
- Faster production of aircraft fuselage
- Competitiveness advantage
- Cost reduction by composite use
Human capital development
Human capital able to take roles in RTM production will be ready for further projects and serial production. Besides technical capability of workers on composites will be enhanced through this project.
