Trelleborg Supports Growth in Sustainable Transportation at Global Urban & Advanced Air Summit
Advanced Polymer Solutions
Technical experts will demonstrate how knowledge and experience from the aerospace industry can be used to support the move to green transportation and the development of innovative urban mobility solutions.
Torben Andersen, Director Aerospace Segment at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, explains: “Safe and efficient forms of electric-powered air transportation will revolutionize the way we travel day to day, reducing the need for individually owned cars and lowering associated emissions. This will have a substantial impact on the environment, not only through the use of green energy but also indirectly through the impact it has on infrastructure.
“Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has decades of experience in sealing in aerospace, automotive and industrial industries globally and is a leader in eMobility applications. Our experience, expertise and position in aerospace and other industries means we can supply a solution to virtually all sealing issues, making us an ideal partner when developing UAM vehicles.”
Automated Fiber Placement
Attendees can learn about Trelleborg’s specialist continuous-fiber thermoplastic composite manufacturing process, which uses Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) to place pre-impregnated unidirectional composite tapes needed to produce strong, light-weight components. The manufacturing process utilizes In-Situ Consolidated (ISC) technology to eliminate fibre wrinkling and offer an unlimited choice of fibre angles that requires no post processes.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has proven solutions for every part of an urban air vehicle, from the energy management system, propulsion, controls and actuation to the airframe, structure, cabin and interior. To illustrate these capabilities Trelleborg has developed resources to highlight the critical areas that require sealing or protection and suggested solutions.
