AB  - Structural power composites, a class of multifunctional materials, have significantpotential to facilitate lightweighting and accelerate widespread electrification in sustainabletransportation. In civil aircraft, a bank of supercapacitors can provide power to open the doorsin an emergency. Structural power composite fuselage components near the doors could providethis power and eliminate the mass and volume needed for the supercapacitors. To demonstratethis concept, we designed and manufactured a multifunctional component representative of afuselage rib, which powered the opening and closing of a desktop scale composite aircraft door.This paper provides information about structural supercapacitor technology demonstrators,discusses the fabrication of this demonstrator and concludes by providing an insight into thefuture challenges that need to be addressed to realise structural power composite components.
