HexPly M79 prepreg materials were first used at Flight Design in the F2 prototype as well as in test panels required for material testing by European and U.S. certification bodies.
Flight Design is enjoying the benefits of its switch to HexPly M79, including cleaner and more precise lay-up, quick and energy-efficient curing, and consistently high-quality laminates and components. The team plans to use HexPly M79 to further lightweight the Ultralight Series in the days ahead.
“The materials and technology package from Hexcel and Lange + Ritter has been a big success for us at
Flight Design,” said Daniel Günther, managing director at Flight Design. “When we took the decision to switch to prepreg, we looked at many options but only Hexcel and Lange + Ritter could offer us low-temperature out-of-autoclave (OOA) curing, globally respected material quality, and the customer service levels we were searching for.”
