Flashback to an innovation project: a major breakthrough in thermoplastic composite fuselage frames

At CQFD COMPOSITES, we are proud to contribute to a true revolution in the design and manufacturing of fuselage frames.

As a partner in the DESCARTES project, led by IRT Jules Verne and conducted for Airbus alongside several major aeronautics players, we are working to develop innovative and competitive solutions in thermoplastic composites.

This visionary project relies on disruptive technologies and low-cost industrialization methods, paving the way for more agile, sustainable, and efficient aeronautics production. To meet this challenge, CQFD COMPOSITES chose curved thermoplastic pultrusion, an innovative solution that combines lightness, strength, and cost-effectiveness, and demonstrates our unique expertise in the manufacturing of custom composite profiles.
