10. AIRWARE “raises the bar” and resets the standards
for next trade offs
High performance products with recognized maturity level
Design Enhancements to increase benefits: untapped
potential with 25% weight reduction with more recent
technologies
Proven track record of aluminum manufacturing
infrastructure
Usage properties (welding, fastening, forming, machining,
surface treatments)
Opportunities to reduce maintenance/inspection cycles
(corrosion, damage tolerance): intervals up to 12 years
Weight savings/fuel efficiency
100% recyclable without losses in properties
Value of scrap segregation and collection
Recycling is a patented process and a reality in our sites
