(August 2001) Nemesis Air Racing has chosen FiberCote’s E-765 family of prepregs with their associated FAA approved design allowables databases for the NemesisNXT Prototype. The decision was easy since E-765 prepregs offer excellent structural properties, easy processing, and the latest advancements in prepreg composite technology.
In addition, all of the the NemesisNXT kits will feature FiberCote’s new E-765 12K carbon fiber prepreg fabric that offers the benefits of carbon fiber, including high strength and stiffness, at a substantially lower cost than previous generations of carbon fiber fabrics. Furthermore, FiberCote’s rigorously developed FAA Approved Design Allowables enabled the NXT to be engineered to take maximum advantage of these materials, thus allowing the NemesisNXT to meet its aggressive performance goals without expensive and time consuming material qualification testing.
The NemesisNXT is a single engine, two place, high performance precision crafted kit aircraft with a retractable gear. The construction consists of molded E-765 12 K carbon fiber prepreg fabic that allows for a very sleek aerodynamic profile. The design is a result of extensive wind tunnel testing, computer modeling, and nine dominating years in Formula One Air Racing with NXT’s predecessor, the Nemesis.
The close partnership between Nemesis Air Racing and FiberCote will utilize FiberCote’s experience as a material supplier to leading aerospace firms and Nemesis design, fabrication, and racing experience to bring a new level of competition to Sport Category Air Racing.
