What is aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser?

Aircraft Nacelle and thrust reverser are aerodynamics structures that are highly important for the aircraft. The nacelle is mainly a department that is separate from the fuselage. It houses the engines, or any other equipment or even at times the aircraft. While thrust reverse offers deceleration for landings of short distances and controls the tear in the tires and brakes.

Aircraft Nacelle and thrust reverser can be made up of composites, titanium alloys, nickel-chromium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.

Market Dynamics

The factor that is expected to serve as a major catalyst is the growing employment of low-drag and lightweight nacelles. The innovative low-drag lightweight nacelles signify the increasing fuel efficiency of an aircraft, and hence, the demand for such nacelles and thrust reversers are increasing.

Segment Analysis

By End-User Type

The market is segmented as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and maintenance repair overhaul (MRO). The OEM segment is estimated to register a higher growth in the coming five years. In the aviation industry, aircraft are engineered and delivered to airline companies with aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser technology mounted in aircraft. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are accountable for the installation of aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser mechanisms. This is an appropriate substitute for airline companies, as after the delivery of aircraft, aftermarket alteration becomes onerous for aircraft manufacturers.

By Material Type

The market is segmented as composites, titanium alloys, nickle chromium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. The aluminum alloys segment is anticipated to retain its dominance during the forecast period. Metals, such as aluminum, steel, and titanium and its alloys, are chosen for the production of aircraft nacelles owing to their strength and high temperature tolerance. As an instance, in Airbus A380, composites are employed on the foremost boundaries and in the fuselage frame for structural clips and engine nacelles, but aluminum remains the foremost material in terms of total share of materials in an aircraft due to its ductility and corrosion resistance. Hence, owing to the rising demand for new aircraft deliveries across the globe, the aluminum alloys segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period.

By Component Type

The market is segmented as thrust reverser and aircraft nacelle. The thrust reverser segment is expected to depict a higher growth in the coming five years. Thrust reversers are the most intricate and weightiest part of any aircraft nacelle and influence significantly the cost of the overall aircraft nacelle. Thus, owing to the growing demand for new aircraft deliveries globally, the thrust reverser segment is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period.

By Engine Type

The market is segmented as turbofan, turboprop, and gas turbine. The turbofan segment is estimated to portray the highest growth during the forecast period. In the aviation industry, almost all the aircraft used in the commercial and regional travel, function on the principle of turbofan-based aircraft propulsion owing to which the upsurge in the demand for commercial and regional airliners is contributing to the escalating demand for turbofan-based engine nacelles.

Regional Analysis

North America is estimated to remain dominant in the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market during the forecast period owing to the high demand for new aircraft and substitution of aging fleets. The Asia-Pacific region is also anticipated to be the fastest-growing region as there is an increase in the modernization agendas in the Asia-Pacific aviation industry, which is estimated to contribute to the high acceptance of advanced aircraft nacelles. These factors are expected to further drive the demand for aircraft nacelles and thrust reversers in the Asia-Pacific region. China and India are the growth engines of the region. Europe is also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
