Considering the rapidly growing volume of composite materials on modern aircraft and the increasing need for repairs of the older ones, it is expected that airlines and MROs using innovative GMI solutions and partner Universities’ and companies’ support will be provided with a very important advantage compared to competition, in terms of range of available solutions, cost efficiency and performance.
