BlackWing aircraft reinforced by TeXtreme wins Red Dot award
Developer and manufacturer of lightweight aircraft, BlackWing Sweden, has received the highest distinction as winner of the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2016.
The fuselage and wings are entirely manufactured using TeXtreme spread tow carbon fibre fabric – which the company claims are 15% more rigid than conventional twill fabric.
BlackWing’s lightweight aircraft, available now as microlight, are among this year’s outstanding products. The jury’s awarding BlackWing a Red Dot: Best of the Best 2016 – a distinction earned by just 1.5% of all entries – further recognises the company as an international design leader.
The aircraft is designed by founder and CEO Niklas Anderberg. After gaining extensive aerospace engineering experience working for Boeing and Saab Aerospace, Anderberg set out to change the rules on how small aircrafts are developed. Lighter and stronger, using the most advanced TeXtreme carbon fibre prepreg fabrics available, BlackWing sets a new standard.
“For us to be able to design the aircraft as we have done and to reach the desired weight targets with the outstanding performance we needed, using TeXtreme was the obvious choice of materials, if not the only choice,” Anderberg said.

Editor's comment: Weather with you
My work office feels unusually cold. As I type this, the BBC weather says it’s 10˚C outside. Hmm, is that typical for the end of April? Anyway, our landlord has deemed that with Spring now in the air, it’s time to turn off the heating and save money. This presents a challenge typing when I can’t feel my fingers.
