📢 Time to get technical... 📢
This isn’t a “new” bio-composite. In 1939, unidirectional flax/phenolic prepregs were already being used for aircraft structures including Spitfire fuselage components.📸
What’s fascinating is not the nostalgia, but the takeaway: after 80 years, the intrinsic mechanical performance of unidirectional flax composites hasn’t changed dramatically. What has evolved is how we design, process, and justify them, especially through manufacturing control and life-cycle thinking.
Sustainability in composites isn’t just about replacing fibers. It’s about understanding why some ideas were already right...decades ago. 👌
Sometimes progress means looking back with better tools.
