SPACEPRO (CEO Choi Yong-gyun, formerly Hankuk Fiber Co., Ltd.), a composite material specialist, is expected to contribute to the localization of adhesive materials and component manufacturing technology for aircraft—areas currently dominated by foreign companies—through a national Research and Development (R&D) project.
SPACEPRO has been selected for the national R&D project called the 'Material and Component Technology Development Project (Package Type).'
The research objective SPACEPRO is participating in is the 'Development and Reliability Verification of Aircraft Components Applying Structural Adhesive Film for Aircraft.' The goal is to develop adhesive materials for aircraft, currently monopolized by advanced foreign companies (such as Solvay and 3M), manufacture aircraft components using these materials, and ultimately verify their performance.
SPACEPRO is taking the lead in the part of the project concerning the design and manufacturing of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) components that apply the localized adhesive materials.
The ECO Convergence Fiber Research Institute and the Korea Institute of Materials Convergence are participating as co-research institutions in this project.
They will work on finding optimal methods related to the manufacturing process technology for the aircraft adhesive film and components, and conduct reliability evaluations.
The components being developed by SPACEPRO are expected to be widely utilized beyond its main product line of UAVs, extending into future mobility solutions like drones, passenger aircraft, Urban Air Mobility (UAM), as well as the aerospace, defense sectors, and even the transportation of hydrogen and ammonia.
The Korea Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology (KEIT), which oversaw the R&D review, also noted that the R&D project is expected to result in import substitution effects and the securing of original technology for related products.
