LEAP engine one of the most desirable to aircraft
#manufacturers
? The use of
#composites
significantly reduces the weight of the engine resulting in more flights, flexibility, and
#efficiency
.
We’ve been awarded a 5-year extension on our current contract to supply high-performance materials for
@lockheedmartin
& their

The Solvay Conference in 1927 is perhaps the most celebrated Council of Physics, and is where the newly formulated theory of quantum physics took center stage.
Leading figures
@AlbertEinstein
and Niels Bohr famously debated quantum mechanics during the conference.
