Begun in September 2020, a multi-year, multi-phase research program partially funded by the FAA and conducted by the Mississippi State University Advanced Composites Institute (ACI, Starkville, Miss., U.S.) aims to identify and meet needs within resin infusion technology for aerospace applications.
In Phase I of the program, which takes place through October 2021, ACI is performing a technology readiness assessment for stitched and unstitched resin infusion. This includes both a literature survey by ACI, as well as a voice of the customer analysis involving feedback from suppliers, fabricators, OEMs and others within the aerospace composites value chain.
