HPC guest columnist Rani Richardson (Dassault Systèmes,
Waltham, Mass.), in her Market Trends offering (
HPC May
2014, p. 7) titled, "An Internet aid for acceleration of aero-
space composites certifcation," referenced comments made
by Dr. Waruna P. Seneviratne, technical director/scientist at
the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR, Wichita,
Kan.). Unfortunately, we misspelled the good doctor's last
name. (The damage has been repaired in the online version of
the article, at http://short.compositesworld.com/cdmHUB2.)
Our apologies to Dr. Seneviratne.
HPC regrets the error.
And in
HPC 's recent JEC Europe 2014 Review ( HPC May
2014, pp. 30-35), our special-focus sidebar on p. 31, titled,
"One-shot nose landing gear door demonstrator," outlined
the unique design and manufacturing techniques used by
Coexpair SA (Namur, Belgium) on re-engineered composite
nose landing gear doors representative of those currently
used on the Airbus (Toulouse, France) A350 XWB commer-
cial passenger jet. The part was molded out of the autoclave,
using Salt Lake City-based Radius Engineering's same-quali-
fed resin transfer molding (SQRTM) process.
HPC neglected
to mention, however, that the development was the result
of collaboration with SLCA, a division of the Safran Group
(Paris, France) and was funded under the European Commis-
sion's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), which was the
European Union's chief instrument for research funding, dur-
ing the period 2007 to 2013.
HPC regrets the omission.
