description: "Airbus and Boeing are testing faster composite curing methods, such as thermoplastic welding and resin transfer molding, to boost production output for high-volume single-aisle aircraft. These alternatives aim to replace traditional autoclave curing. However, achieving ambitious build rates also requires streamlining downstream processes like trimming, drilling, assembly, and inspection while ensuring consistent quality for certification."

# Airbus, Boeing test faster composite curing to boost output

Pushing production limits: Airbus and Boeing are testing alternatives to autoclave curing to scale composite output for potential high-volume single-aisle programs. Beyond curing speed: Even with faster curing, downstream tasks like trimming, drilling, assembly and inspection must be streamlined to meet ambitious build rates. Exploring new methods: Options under study include thermoplastic welding, resin transfer molding and out‑of‑autoclave prepregs, all requiring consistent quality for certification.
