Today and yesterday we had the kick-off meeting of this new project.

PLEIADES ꟷ Advancing Aerospace Composites through Induction Welding & New Vitrimeric Formulations Enhanced by Integrated Photonic Sensors, Providing Data to Digital Supply Chain, SHM, Maintenance ꟷ brings together different disciplines and key technologies that will contribute to advancing composite aerostructures and promote the digital transformation in aviation.

PLEIADES multiple disciplines extend across a wide variety such as formulations and characterisation of new composite materials, automation of induction welding processes for composites leveraging integrated sensing, disassembly of composites joints, healing and maintenance schedules.
