2020:
* Engine and nacelle structural integration - lightweight (composite/hybrid), anisogrid composite structures for nacelles
* Low (200 C) temperature composite materials with automated fibre preform manufacturing for complex geometries
* Increased temperature resistance, and better structural stiffness, through continuous improvement of metallic materials (e.g. superalloys, Titanium alloys), coatings and processes
* Rapid automated manufacturing of thermoplastic composite components
* Ceramic matrix composites with improved damage tolerance and processes for complex geometries
2035:
* Medium (500 C) temperature composite materials with automated fibre preform manufacturing for complex geometries
* Metallic matrix composites
* New materials allowing further weight reduction and higher temperatures
