Carbon Nanotube Nanostitching Makes Composites of Airplane Skins Ten Times Stronger At Weakest Point for Nominal Cost
Airbus has worked nanostitching into their plans already. MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost. The advanced materials currently used for many aerospace applications are …
