Full Description
This book offers comprehensive coverage of sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques in aviation that reduce fuel consumption, increase operational efficiency, and make more sustainable use of raw materials, energy, and water during manufacturing. Materials that enable the aircraft to be lightweight without compromising safety issues are covered. The sustainability aspects in selecting the materials and manufacturing techniques, as well as performance, cost, and environmental aspects are discussed. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twins in manufacturing are covered.
Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Techniques in Aviation will appeal to a broad readership in the aviation community, including students, engineers, scientists, and researchers, as a reference source for material science and modern production techniques.
Offers guidance on the selection of sustainable materials for aircraft;
Discusses additive manufacturing for aviation applications;
Covers artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as digital twin in manufacturing.
