High Rate Aerostructures Fabrication

The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the forthcoming market for Urban Air Mobility, or “flying taxis” requires producing thousands of aircraft per year rather than hundreds. Future single aisle commercial aircraft will only be composite intensive if fabrication times and costs come down. What are the materials and processes likely to prevail for high rate aerostructures? What are the technical challenges that need to be addressed?
