The Aerospace &amp; Defence division has signed a partnership agreement with PLD Space to support the development of <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Miura 5<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, an orbital launcher designed to position Spain and Europe at the forefront of the new space race. From its Jerez facility, Airtificial will produce advanced composite panels \u2013lighter and stronger than metal\u2013 that play a vital role in engine performance by separating the thruster nozzles, which channel the engines\u2019 thrust and prevent overheating.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These composite components serve two key functions. Firstly, they provide support by keeping a fixed distance between the nozzles, preventing interference and protecting them from vibration or deformation during launch. Secondly, they act as thermal insulators, ensuring safety at lift-off by serving as barriers that shield surrounding systems from radiation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks to over 30 years of expertise in the manufacture of composite structural components \u2013which replace metal\u2013 Airtificial Group\u2019s aerospace division enables the <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Miura 5<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to be lighter, thereby increasing its payload capacity with the same fuel consumption.

The composites produced by Airtificial Aerospace &amp; Defence strengthen this reusability thanks to their high resistance to the extreme conditions of space, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of the components.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This space programme, designed by PLD Space, is a key milestone in securing Europe\u2019s independent access to space.
