QAADS 2016: Plastic Materials Making Flight Light

Posted September 11, 2026 12:00 AM by QGuy

The Quadrant Aviation Aerospace & Defense Symposium (QAADS) will take place on Thursday, November 3 in Long Beach, CA. QAADS will address concerns and challenges faced by the aviation, aerospace, and defense industry, matched with actionable strategies from the top minds in high-strength lightweight thermoplastic application solutions.

QAADS brings you together with Quadrant, the world’s leading advanced plastics manufacturer so you can gain a comprehensive understanding of what technologies are available, which are right for your application, and how they shape up against the competition.

Engineering is a “team” activity, together we’ll explore the industry’s top concerns and challenges with real-world case studies and actionable strategies on:

  • Maximizing profit and value across the global supply chain with new material technologies
  • Eliminating potential failure points with one-piece designs
  • Advanced material solutions that are easier to design, shape and repair
  • Spec writing for success: matching performance and value to the application
  • Lightweighting for increased fuel efficiency and reduced green house gas emissions
  • Designing with high-strength & lightweight materials for “inside & out” applications; propulsion, interiors, structures and systems
  • Reducing friction on wear surfaces with little or no lubrication
  • Reducing aerospace manufacturing costs by replacing traditional materials; aluminum, titanium and other metals

QAADS Symposium is specifically designed for:

  • Design & process engineers
  • Mechanical & structural engineers
  • Material scientists
  • Materials engineers
  • Flight engineers
  • Production engineers
  • Systems engineers, test & evaluation engineers

Access the world’s top industry experts. Get inspired, spark innovation and take action.
