Strategic collaboration
Strategic collaboration
ESI Group a major company in virtual prototyping simulation, has announced that it will form a strategic collaboration in composites manufacturing engineering with Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, a major Chinese aircraft manufacturer and partner for the global aviation industry.
Chengdu Aircraft has recently completed its implementation of ESI Group's composites simulation solution in its aircraft design and manufacturing engineering process. Today, new- generation composite parts in aircraft are a major innovation, dramatically reducing the weight of aircraft, thus improving aircraft performance and efficiency. The virtual simulation solution from ESI Group enables Chengdu Aircraft to simulate the entire process of the design and manufacturing of composite parts, accelerating the time-to-manufacture of reliable and high-performance composite parts, which are built as designed.
Chengdu Aircraft is a supplier to major aircraft manufacturers across the world and manufactures some of the most-used parts in modern aircrafts, as well as some composite parts of future- generation airliners.
