PROJECTS

 

Formula SAE

Crawford Composites supplied the Formula SAE Team of NCSU with the materials and the facility to construct a complete autoclaved carbon fiber chassis.  The members of the SAE team provided all the labor, while Max and Jan Crawford and Toby McCall provided consultation and instruction when needed.  The SAE team have now constructed their second chassis at our facility, with less help this year utilizing the skills they learned with the last build.

 

Aerospace Engineering

As a part of the NCSU requirement for a degree in Aerospace Engineering students must complete a senior design course.  The course puts what the students have learned to a practical test.  Not only must they design a plane must they must also build and fly the plane.  Crawford Composites decided to the help the teams of the 2001 graduating class in their endeavor.  Machining of molds was accomplished in concert with Bret Conway of Performance Research. Crawford Composites donated materials, and expertise in the field.
