The
potential for Gorix E-CT in the Aerospace Industry is huge, with applications
ranging from moulding composite structures where heat curing is required
to battlefield damage repair systems where portable heat sources need
to be used. Gorix E-CT could also be used with the aircraft structure
to act either as a sacrificial heater to instigate an action within the
structure at the time of manufacture or as a captive heating element to
be used and re-used throughout the aircraft's life. Component assembly
of large aircraft sections that rely upon adhesives for bonding them together
have been heated by Gorix E-CT elements.
Not
all aerospace applications will revolve around heating; Gorix E-CT may
also find uses as a sensor for detecting movement or degradation within
the laminated structures of aircraft components. An in built detection
system in the wing and fuselage to ascertain where a military aircraft
has taken a "hit" has been proposed as having the placement
of Gorix E-CT patches on the aircraft to give a false or misleading thermal
or noise signature.
What
is good for the Aerospace Industry can usually be applied to the Marine
Construction Industry, the same rule applies to Motor Sport. Aerospace
specification.
Composites
find their way into Racing Yachts and Racing Cars alike, so will the revolutionary
curing techniques and moulding tools being pioneered with Gorix E-CT.
To have the ability to cure a yacht hull in one piece within a very tight
temperature tolerance range is a not too distant possibility. A Formula
1 car tub could be asymmetrically cured to give greater strength to key
areas of the structure.
