MFFD – the thermoplastic fuselage of tomorrow
The Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD) is eight metres long and has a diameter of four metres. This aircraft component is constructed from thermoplastic CFRP. The prototype for the upper half of the fuselage was manufactured at DLR in Augsburg to test the innovative material and new technologies to determine their readiness for practical applications.
