AIRCRAFT SEAT SUPPORT
Composite aircraft seat support lighter steel with the same strength
Airplane lifetime cost was reduced through 40% weight
reduction of 3D printed aircraft seat support.
With 100 such seat supports in an average single-aisle passenger
plane, this weight reduction can add up to saving 25 kg per plane.
In such fields as aerospace every kilo matters because it becomes
costs the company spends during using the aircraft. Cost of fuel for
every kilo in an airplane is $2000 a year. Thus we save $50 000 a
year per plane.
