Construire plus léger est une compétence clé. Et dès qu’il s’agit de masses à alléger et pouvant se déformer, une expression revient régulièrement: les matériaux composites à renforts fibres. Pour disposer des meilleures caractéristiques, il faut utiliser les différentsmatériaux et les lier dans un composite. Une des combinaisons les plus intéressantes est constituée de fibres de carbone associée
