Benefts:
• Peel ply easily strips
off of cured laminates
leaving a textured
surface, reducing time
spent hand fnishing.
• Lower cost tightly
woven fabric reduces
material cost and is
easier to remove,
reducing labor cost.
• Black pin stripes
make fabric more
visible to reduce risk
of leaving in place
after cure.

Cost effective, polyester peel ply with black tracers
n late February, Rolls-Royce (London, U.K.) shared details
of its next-generation of jet engine designs, which will in-
corporate composites and could be ready within 10 years.
The engine designs will take advantage of architecture and
technology improvements that Rolls-Royce says are all cur-
rently at an advanced stage of development. A key component
will be a CTi fan system that will feature carbon fber/titanium
fan blades and a composite casing that reduces weight by
up to 1,500 lb/680 kg per aircraft, the equivalent of carrying
seven more passengers at no cost. Advanced ceramic-matrix
composites, which will operate more effectively than metals
in high turbine temperatures, are also on the drawing board.
Further, a geared design will deliver effcient power for high-
thrust, high-bypass ratio engines of the future.
The company says two of the new-generation engine de-
signs will build on the success of its Trent family of engines.
The frst, Advance, will offer at least 20 percent less fuel burn
and CO
2
emissions than the frst generation of Trent engines
and could be ready by the end of this decade. The second,
known as UltraFan, also will beneft from the geared fan
design. Its variable-pitch fan system will be based on tech-
nology that could be ready for service by 2025 and will offer
at least a 25 percent reduction in fuel burn and emissions
against the same baseline.
Rolls-Royce will use composites in
future commercial aircraft engines
