Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

All I want for Christmas... is a yellow Hennesy with a Carbon Panel System

Wait what?

Yes, under the bonnet (British) or hood (US american) and other body in black (not white) components you find carbon composites in this piece of race engineering.

Join me to one of the most funniest interviews this year and let me introduce you to fun composites expert Naomi Johnson. I approached her during the recent International Composites Summit in Milton Keynes (UK) when David Bailey FRAeS Ph.D of Composites UK - Trade Association pointed me to the yellow luxury beast of a sports car.

Not only does Naomi run us through the process of DFM (Design for Manufacture) that she applies at KS Composites with her luxury motorsport car manufacturers, but also explains the aforementioned body panel system which is easy to paint. Which means this bright yellow color is carbon black underneath in reality.

Naomi knows all the weave types, all the matrices and glossy or matt finishes and she demonstrates carbon in a way that will blow your mind!

Naomi is a true role model in composites! She lives and breathes composites.
