InsideMRO – Nacelle Designs Get Lighter, Stronger And Less Complex

Vallair’s Operations Director – Aerostructures, Francois Fermaut, spoke to Paul Seidenman and David Spanovich about nacelle designs for the September 2025 issue of InsideMRO.

Reducing complexity is paving the way for the next generation of nacelle designs, explains Fermaut. Thanks to the availability of new materials and moves to decrease the number of moving parts, nacelles of the future will be lighter and more durable. “Combined with streamlined designs, part count minimisation and simplified control systems, Vallair sees the industry is on track to continue reducing nacelle weight, enhancing fuel efficiency, lowering emissions and reducing the cost of production.”
