Aerospace, hydrospace, and military

Since this fabrication technique allows production of strong, lightweight parts, it has proved particularly useful for components of structures of commercial and industrial usefulness and for aerospace, hydrospace, and military applications. Both the reinforcement and the matrix can be tailor-made to satisfy almost any property demand. This aid in widening the applicability of FW to the production of almost any item wherein the strength to weight ratio is important. FW is used in different shapes such as the usual circular and elliptical shape to produce rectangular shapes.
