Lightweight Solutions for Extended Range

While every gram matters in electric vehicles, weight reduction becomes even more critical in eVTOL vehicle applications, where it directly impacts flight time, range, and overall energy efficiency. Our advanced eVTOL materials portfolio includes lightweight polycarbonate glazing solutions that can replace traditional glass, offering cost effective weight savings while maintaining exceptional optical quality and impact resistance. Carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonates provide ultimate lightweight performance combined with high strength and durability, helping manufacturers achieve optimal weight-to-performance ratios.

The future of advanced air mobility takes flight.

"The advanced air mobility sector demands materials that combine exceptional performance with sustainability. Our high-performance polymer solutions aren't just meeting these requirements – they're enabling manufacturers to push the boundaries of what's possible in eVTOL design and efficiency."
