Hello

You are right that aramid materials are sometimes used in high performance friction compounds such as clutch plates etc.  However from what i have seen it is a fairly specialist material and is certainly not the same as the aramid fabrics we sell which are primarily aimed for use in composite laminating.

Human powered helicopter!!!  That sounds awesome.

Following on from what Warren said, have you tried places like Ferodo?  They are over on Chapel en le frith so not a million miles from you. They should be able to help with friction materials and I'd have thought they'd help with technical help too.

Hi guys,
