An alumnus of North Texas Community College, Dawson Fuller has served as an aircraft repair technician with Applied Aerodynamics since 2020. In this capacity, Dawson Fuller's responsibilities include the teardown of re-manufactured components, disassembly, replacement, preparation, and composite bonding of military and commercial aircraft parts.
The aerospace industry's and manufacturers' unwavering commitment to improving commercial and military aircraft performance is always pushing for more high-performance structural materials to be developed. Composite materials are a type of material that is used extensively in aircraft components. Composite materials are made up of a number of different materials that are mixed together to produce certain structural characteristics. In the composite the various components do not entirely melt or combine but they work together as one, serving complementary benefits.
Kevlar is sometimes combined with other materials to create composites. Kevlar is lightweight, inert under some circumstances, stiff, and durable, with high tensile strength. Aircraft cabin flooring, overhead bins, and bulkheads made of Kevlar composites have helped aircraft manufacturers reduce aircraft weight. Because of the low weight, less fuel is required for flight. Kevlar composites are better than the heavier, weaker, and corrosion-prone aluminum cores that have been utilized in the past.
Kevlar is impractical for certain applications. Its stiffness, for instance, makes it limited to parts that are built to be strong rather than flexible.
