Lighter aircraft, helicopters, sturdy and invisible to radar are just some of the incredible applications of graphene, the wonder material made from a single layer of carbon atoms, in the aerospace sector.
Graphene is revolutionizing not only Earth but also Space. The heat dissipation capacity of graphene allows producing ever smaller and more competitive for electronics and microelectronics products in aerospace sector. In the UK, University of Central Lancashire introduced Juno, an unmanned flying wing entirely covered with graphene.
Lightweight, strong and flexible, the material is an ideal ally for aeronautics. Graphene has properties that could be useful in low gravity. Graphene, thanks to its high electrical conductivity, will be used not only to create de-icing systems integrated into the wings, but also to produce paints that reduce the radar footprint.
The key to the development of....
