================================================================================

In the realm of aerospace and composite technology, September 2025 has been a month of significant advancements. Here are some of the key developments that have taken place.

PRISM EP2400: A Versatile Resin Infusion System

The resin infusion system PRISM EP2400, manufactured by Syensqo, has been introduced into the NCAMP (National Centre for Advanced Materials Performance) database. This one-part, low reactive system, designed for global shipping by sea, land, or air, is qualified by the FAA-sponsored NCAMP and recognized by both FAA and EASA. The qualification directly addresses the gap in public NCAMP allowables for out-of-autoclave (OoA) resin infusion solutions.

PRISM EP2400 is a low viscosity system enabling robust and repeatable resin transfer processing. It is toughened and damage tolerant, making it suitable for high-performance applications. The system also boasts a long and stable pot life for large or complex structure infusions. The full documentation package for PRISM EP2400 is publicly available via NCAMP at Wichita State University.

Brookhouse Aerospace's Growth and Investment Strategy

Brookhouse Aerospace has announced an investment of over £500,000 in additional machinery to extend its engineering capabilities. This investment is part of the company's wider growth and investment strategy, with further investment in machining capabilities planned over the coming months.

Lockheed Martin's Upgrade of F-16 Flight Simulators

Lockheed Martin has announced that it will upgrade the Republic of Korea Air Force's F-16 Block 52 flight simulators to reflect the advanced capabilities of its modernised F-16 Viper (F-16V) aircraft. This upgrade is a news item from September 18, 2025.

Adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Dassault Systèmes has announced that the National Composites Centre (NCC) has adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. This adoption extends to other innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network. The NCC's adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a news item from September 18, 2025.

Q&A Sessions on CNC Machining and CFRP Drilling

In a Q&A session from September 1, 2025, Gianmarco Pisati, technology sales manager at CNC machine tool specialist, Jobs, discussed the CNC machining of honeycomb cores. Martin Burns, an aerospace specialist at Exactaform, discussed CFRP drilling and stack material solutions for the aerospace manufacturing sector in another Q&A session.

These developments underscore the ongoing commitment to innovation and advancement in the aerospace and composite technology sectors. As we move forward, we can expect to see continued growth and exciting new developments in these fields.
