This composite is called BAMCO (Bamboo long fibre reinforced biobased Matrix Composite).
The purpose of BAMCO was to reduce the environmental footprint of aircraft by making their structure lighter and reducing their fuel consumption, as well as delivering benefits that extend well beyond the aerospace industry. The European REACH regulation encouraged this evolution.
The first prototype components of BAMCO are scheduled to be produced in 2021.
The Paris International Air Show will take place between 17 and 23 June. Expleo may be presenting BAMCO during that air show.
Expleo is a technology partner providing integrated engineered services for aviation, space and defence industry players.
