Syensqo's materials support lightweight airframe of all-electric seaplane

Syensqo has been selected as a materials partner by NOEMI Aerospace for its all-electric amphibious aircraft, with the ambition of becoming the world’s first certified fully electric amphibious seaplane.

NOEMI Aerospace has selected Syensqo’s advanced composites and adhesives for its all-electric seaplane.

For an electric seaplane operating in demanding coastal and marine environments, structural integrity, weight efficiency, and durability are critical. NOEMI’s material selection reflects the need to combine high structural performance with the processing flexibility required for large composite structures.

Under the agreement, NOEMI Aerospace will use Syensqo’s MTM 45-1 carbon fiber prepreg in the aircraft’s airframe, together with AeroPaste structural paste adhesive for wing assembly, supporting the development of lightweight, high-performance structures as the aircraft progresses toward certification.

“We wanted to manufacture the wing skins and spars in a 21-meter single span, so we needed an out-of-autoclave material with proven performance. With Syensqo’s MTM 45-1, a primary structure capable material with FAA approval and independently verified NCAMP data. We have a solution that will support our certification approach while helping us achieve the low structural weight required for our first prototype aircraft. We will also use Syensqo’s AeroPaste structural adhesive to bond the wing components and achieve the performance we need,” said Simon Bendrey, Chief Engineer of NOEMI Aerospace.

The collaboration also reflects Syensqo’s commitment to advancing next-generation aerospace and advanced air mobility through lightweight, high-performance materials that can enable greater structural efficiency, manufacturing flexibility and new aircraft architectures.
