ILA 2000 Report - Part 2 -MAN Technologie water tanks Advanced Materials at the Berlin, Germany...

Sport and General Aviation (GA) aircraft always have been a focus of the ILA - including many new composite models.

Among the major composite entries on view in Berlin: MAN Technologie's comprehensive exhibit included composites found in airliner internal support systems: the filament wound, carbon fiber/epoxy water tanks it has long produced for several Airbus models. Some of the tanks are for potable water, others for wastewater. MAN emphasized a material design substitution - though for reasons other than Airbus' constant quest for lightweighting. Reinforcin
