Research and Markets: The Global Aerospace Composites Market to Reach US$3.95 Billion by 2016 Says Latest Study

Posted on by

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pr59w7/global_aerospace) has announced the addition of the "Global Aerospace Composites Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.

One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increased adoption of composites in aircraft design. The Global Aerospace Composites market has also been witnessing strong demand in general aviation. However, complex regulatory requirements pose the biggest challenge in the market.

The key vendors dominating this market space are Cytec Industries Inc., GKN Aerospace Service Ltd., Gurit Holding AG, and Hexcel Corp.

The other vendors mentioned in the report are AGY Holding Corp., BASF Corp., Huntsman International LLC, Lola Group, PGG Industries, SGL Group, Umeco Plc, Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd., and Toray Industries Inc.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Automotive team said: ''The Global General Aviation market is expected to exhibit steady growth in the coming years. The vendors in the Global Aerospace Composites market will benefit from the increasing use of composites in new-generation aircraft. Also, the expanding use of composites in helicopters and other rotary-wing aircraft will increases vendors' average sales per aircraft over time. Composite applications have expanded rapidly in general aviation design, i.e., from small secondary structures to more demanding flight-control surfaces, empennage assemblies, fuselage, and wings. It is estimated that over the next several years, the General Aviation markets in Europe and North America will slowly improve. However, most of the forecast growth will come from the emerging markets in China, Brazil, and India.''

According to the report, the use of composites in the Aerospace industry has been increasing because of the various benefits it offers to aircraft manufacturers, and this is driving the Global Aerospace Composites market. The primary benefits that composites offer are reduced weight and assembly simplification as compared to the traditional materials for aircraft construction such as steel, aluminum, and titanium. Further, the performance advantages gained by reducing the weight of aircraft structural elements has given a major thrust to the development of military aviation composites. This is because composites are about one-fifth the weight of steel and are better in terms of stiffness and strength.

Aerospace adapts to survive in O.C.

Posted on by

During the Cold War, 15 of the 25 biggest aircraft companies in the U.S. were based in Southern California. Today, they have mostly closed their doors, merged with rivals or moved their headquarters away.

In 1990, in Orange County alone, more than 42,000 people manufactured planes, rockets, satellites or parts of them. Now, the official number is about 15,000, although that doesn't include many related jobs.

Alfredo Galvez, hand finisher, sands and smoothes a metal part at Coast Composites. The Santa Ana company is a leader in making molds for airplane parts, both military and civilian. The company has hired 80 new workers in the last two years.

"In Orange County, as in the rest of the aerospace and defense industry, we are in a down cycle," said Daryl Pelc, vice president of engineering and technology for Boeing's Phantom Works, which develops advanced military technology. "But we are very excited about the pending upcycle."

If the giant factories that once pumped out warplanes have mostly disappeared, however, a vibrant aerospace economy is nonetheless powering new businesses in the region. In defense, companies see opportunities in cybersecurity, drone manufacturing and exports to foreign militaries. A boom in commercial aircraft orders is creating work for hundreds of local suppliers.

Despite recent layoffs, looming defense cuts and technical problems with its new commercial Dreamliner 787, Boeing is celebrating a record year. The company delivered 601 commercial airplanes last year, the most since 1999, and surpassed Airbus as the world's No. 1 passenger jet maker. Boeing orders stood at 4,373, the most in company history.

Many local suppliers are talking upcycle, too. Coast Composites, a high-tech toolmaker in Santa Ana, has boosted its workforce from 170 to more than 300 in less than three years as it ramps up its carbon-fiber mold business.

Kids' nutrition levels to be checked again

Posted on by

Bhopal, Feb. 1 -- Almost three years after more than half of children were found underweight in Madhya Pradesh in a survey, the nutrition level of children would be checked again. National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) Hyderabad would undertake a fresh district-level survey, likely from February end, to find out the nutrition levels, their impact on children and the probable causes of undernourishment.

"The survey would commence once the administrative approval is received and it would last for six months," commissioner of women and child development, Manohar Agnani told HT.

The NIN had undertaken a nutrition survey in the state in year 2010 (March to September) and the results were released in August 2011. The survey has showed that 51.9% of the rural children below five years of age in the state were underweight. In addition, 48.9% of children were found stunted (height Satna Umaria Barwani Dindori Alirajpur lesser than average for their age) while 25.8% children were found wasted (weight lesser than average for their height)-a sign of short-term acute malnutrition. Though the figures were quite less compared with those highlighted by the National Family Health Survey-III (for 200506 released in 2009), the high percentage of undernourished children had sent alarm bells ringing for the government. NFHS-III (rural) had put the number of underweight children in MP at a shocking 62.7%-highest in the country.

The NIN figures are being used while implementing the flagship Atal Child Health and Nutrition Mission of the state government. The state women and child development department is planning to conduct the fresh survey to find out the impact of the different schemes as well as the mission on the nutrition level of the children.

Apart from finding the nutrition status of children, the survey would also look at the source of income of the families surveyed, their drinking water source, registration for antenatal care for pregnant women, place of delivery (government or private hospital or home), who conducted the delivery (doctor, health workers, etc. immunisation and Vitamin A supplementation status of the women, breastfeeding and child feeding practices, sources said.

Longevity gene may lead to 'molecular fountain of youth'

Posted on by

Washington, Feb 1 (ANI): A new study has made a major advance in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind aging, providing new hope for the development of targeted treatments for age-related degenerative diseases.

Researchers were able to turn back the molecular clock by infusing the blood stem cells of old mice with a longevity gene and rejuvenating the aged stem cells' regenerative potential.

The biologists found that SIRT3, one among a class of proteins known as sirtuins, plays an important role in helping aged blood stem cells cope with stress. When they infused the blood stem cells of old mice with SIRT3, the treatment boosted the formation of new blood cells, evidence of a reversal in the age-related decline in the old stem cells' function.

"We already know that sirtuins regulate aging, but our study is really the first one demonstrating that sirtuins can reverse aging-associated degeneration, and I think that's very exciting," said study principal investigator Danica Chen, UC Berkeley assistant professor of nutritional science and toxicology.

"This opens the door to potential treatments for age-related degenerative diseases," Chen noted.

Notably, SIRT3 is found in a cell's mitochondria, a cell compartment that helps control growth and death, and previous studies have shown that the SIRT3 gene is activated during calorie restriction, which has been shown to extend lifespan in various species.

To gauge the effects of aging, the researchers studied the function of adult stem cells, which are responsible for maintaining and repairing tissue; it is a function that breaks down with age. They focused on hematopoietic, or blood, stem cells because of their ability to completely reconstitute the blood system, the capability that underlies successful bone marrow transplantation.

The researchers first observed the blood system of mice that had the gene for SIRT3 disabled. Surprisingly, among young mice, the absence of SIRT3 made no difference. It was only when time crept up on the mice that things changed. By the ripe old age of two, the SIRT3-deficient mice had significantly fewer blood stem cells and decreased ability to regenerate new blood cells compared with regular mice of the same age.

What is behind the age gap? It appears that in young cells, the blood stem cells are functioning well and have relatively low levels of oxidative stress, which is the burden on the body that results from the harmful byproducts of metabolism. At this youthful stage, the body's normal antioxidant defenses can easily deal with the low stress levels, so differences in SIRT3 are less important.

"When we get older, our system doesn't work as well, and we either generate more oxidative stress or we can't remove it as well, so levels build up. Under this condition, our normal antioxidative system can't take care of us, so that's when we need SIRT3 to kick in to boost the antioxidant system. However, SIRT3 levels also drop with age, so over time, the system is overwhelmed," said Chen.
