The disruptive journey of composites in various industries has not been hidden from the world, especially in the aerospace, automotive, wind energy, and marine industries. Among all, aerospace is one industry that has witnessed excellent penetration of advanced composites in the crucial sections including fuselage and wings in the next-generation aircraft: B787 and A350XWB. Today, all the major airframers are not developing their next-generation aircraft without considering the use of composites. These AFP/ATL machines is highly concentrated around the aerospace industry with the development of several crucial composite parts of the latest aircraft such as B787 and A350XWB. Although, AFP/ATL machines do find applications in other industries the dominance of the aerospace industry is expected to continue over the next five years as well. The expected introduction of fuel-efficient variants of B777 aircraft (B777X) and other key aircraft programs, such as C919 and Irkut MC-21, is likely to generate a healthy demand for AFP/ATL machines in the aerospace industry.
