I'm a compos TRENDS FEBRUARY 2018 22 CompositesWorld CompositesWorld's annual Carbon Fiber conference, held this year in Charleston, SC, US (Nov. 28-30), began with a tour of conference co-sponsor The Boeing Co.'s (Chicago, IL US) South Carolina facility, the only site where all three versions of the Dreamliner — the 787-8, 787-9 and the newest and at 68.3m, the longest, the 787-10, are built. Although assembly of the -8 and -9 versions are completed in Charleston and at Boeing's Everett, WA, US assembly facilities, the 787-10 rolls out only from Boeing South Carolina. Following the morning's tour, Chris Red of Composites Forecasts and Consulting LLC (Mesa, AZ, US) opened up the conference by presenting his 2017 Carbon Fiber Global Outlook. Global growth in the US$75 billion carbon fiber industry, he said, will average 10% year- over-year during the next decade, with carbon fiber demand increasing from 102,000 MT in 2016 to 182,000 JEC WORLD 2018 The Leading International Composites Show March 6-7-8, 2018 PARIS-NORD VILLEPINTE Join the Leading International Composites Show Your pass on www.jec - world.events + 40,000 Professionals 113 Countries Make it with compo Discover the end possibilities of the co and fi nd answer industrial c @ JECWorld #Auto #Aero #Construction #EEE #Marine #Medical #Oil&Gas; #Sports&Leisure; #Railway #Wind Make it real with composites Discover the endless possibilities of the composites and fi nd answers to your industrial challenges ® I'm a composite material video AEROSPACE Conference Highlights: Carbon Fiber 2017 Source | Boeing Source | InFactory Solutions
