At JEC World 2026, Engel Austria demonstrated how thermoplastic composite rotor blades for drones could be manufactured efficiently, with consistent quality and fully automated in series production.

As part of the project, Fraunhofer IFAM not only started up a specially designed new low-pressure plasma plant for web material, but also developed plasma processes which can be used to apply an ...

This chapter focuses on those parameters that pertain to the manufacturing process for rotor blades. However, the design and the process are so interrelated that one can not be discussed without the ...
