Chomarat is presenting two new applications using C-PLY, its innovative carbon multiaxial Non Crimp Fabric (NCF). For the first time, the specialist in composite reinforcements will exhibit a drone wing designed in partnership with VX Aerospace and Northrup Grumman Corporation and a kayak created in partnership with Confluence Outdoor at its stand (N 44) at the CAMX Expo.

Chomarat will exhibit a drone wing called DASH X, a Class II UAV that was created in partnership with VX Aerospace and Northrup Grumman Corporation. The drone can be folded and stowed inside a cylindrical container that is carried and deployed from a tactical aircraft. C-PLYTM is used in the construction of the wing, the horizontal stabilizers, the vertical fin and all of the control surfaces.

"When it comes to wing skins, there is not a better material. The extremely thin non-crimped laminate with customizable ply angles is perfect. Strength and stiffness are tailored for the loads. There are no weight and performance compromises created by undesired 'off-axis' ply angles. No other hand-placeable material can do this", says VX Aerospace Chief Engineer Bob Skillen.
