Abstract
For decades, the aerospace industry has searched for ways to be more sustainable. Almost every company has a sustainability project that aims to reduce the waste and the cost of constructing and operating aerospace vehicles. The problem with most of these projects is that companies focus on creating entirely new concepts that the world does not have the means to insure. Although harmful byproducts of the aviation industry have been reduced recently, it is essential to continue with new ideas and research, as there are always things to improve. This paper analyzes a new wing spar made of core Recycle PEEK Filament printer by 3D printer and cover with Aluminum 2024-T3. PEEK plastic is one of the more robust thermoplastics used in the interarea of aircraft. Covering the Recycle PEEK Filament core with the Aluminum 2024-T3 will help increase the material's solidity and make it less deformity. Different exams have been made to test the material and conclude the results in this paper.
Did this research project receive funding support from the Office of Undergraduate Research.
Yes, SURF
Reusing Materials in the Aerospace Industry - Utilizing Recycled PEEK and Aluminum 2024-T3 for Wing Spar
