Ruote e freni sono tra i componenti più importanti delle flotte di aerei. Le ruote forniscono supporto strutturale all'intero corpo dell'aereo e conferiscono resistenza ai pneumatici. I freni svolgono un ruolo fondamentale nell'atterraggio dell'aereo poiché controllano la velocità delle ruote e limitano gradualmente il movimento dell'aereo, garantendo infine un atterraggio stabile. Negli ultimi anni, i produttori di aeromobili e di componenti per aeromobili hanno posto l'accento sulla riduzione del peso delle ruote degli aerei, come parte dei loro sforzi per ridurre il consumo di carburante degli aerei. Le ruote per aerei leggeri sono ampiamente utilizzate negli aerei commerciali e da difesa per ottenere i costi operativi più bassi possibili aumentando l'efficienza del carburante. Inoltre, le ruote degli aerei moderni sono progettate e prodotte in modo tale da essere compatibili con più varianti di freni a disco.
Impatto della pandemia di COVID-19 sul mercato delle ruote e dei freni degli aerei
L’epidemia di COVID-19 ha influenzato negativamente il mondo e continua a mandare in frantumi diversi paesi. Fino allo scoppio dell’epidemia l’industria aerospaziale aveva registrato una crescita sostanziale in termini di produzione, nonostante gli enormi arretrati dei produttori di aerei. Inoltre, l’industria aeronautica globale stava assistendo ad un aumento significativo del numero di passeggeri e ad un aumento degli acquisti di aeromobili. Sfortunatamente, l’epidemia di COVID-19 ha decimato la domanda di aeromobili a livello globale, riducendo i volumi degli ordini tra i produttori di aeromobili, con conseguente riduzione del numero di produzioni. Il calo dei volumi di produzione ha ostacolato le attività di diversi produttori di componenti e tecnologie associate. Pertanto, le attività degli operatori del mercato delle ruote e dei freni per aerei sono state gravemente colpite dalla destabilizzazione nella produzione aeronautica.

Approfondimenti sul mercato delle ruote e dei freni per aeromobili
Crescente utilizzo di freni in carbonio durevoli, leggeri e robusti
L'industria manifatturiera aeronautica ha fatto affidamento sui freni in acciaio nel corso dei decenni; tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, gli operatori del settore hanno ampiamente spostato la loro attenzione verso i freni in carbonio. Ciò è principalmente attribuito al peso ridotto e alla maggiore durata del carbonio. Il peso più leggero dei freni in carbonio aiuta i produttori a mantenere il peso dei modelli di aerei inferiore rispetto a quelli con freni tradizionali; le flotte di aerei leggeri operano con maggiore efficienza nei consumi e con minori emissioni di CO2. Il peso degli aeromobili e le emissioni di CO2 sono i due parametri critici su cui concentrarsi nel settore della produzione aeronautica. Inoltre, i freni in carbonio facilitano il risparmio sui costi poiché la natura più robusta del carbonio offre ai freni ulteriore resistenza insieme alla capacità di operare in ambienti avversi. Inoltre, i freni in carbonio richiedono una manutenzione minore poiché possono gestire in media circa 2.000 atterraggi. Pertanto, i freni in carbonio vengono ampiamente utilizzati nei moderni modelli di aeromobili per ridurre i costi operativi complessivi, compresi i costi di manutenzione, riparazione e revisione dei freni (MRO). I freni in carbonio sono compatibili con tutti i moderni modelli di aerei commerciali e militari, che consentono il facile aggiornamento dei freni in carbonio. Pertanto, questi freni trovano applicazione nelle attività di revisione di flotte di aerei più vecchi, che necessitano di manutenzione. Pertanto, la crescente adozione di freni in carbonio negli aerei commerciali e militari sta alimentando la crescita del mercato delle ruote e dei freni degli aerei.
Approfondimenti sul mercato basati sugli utenti finali
La spesa militare è in aumento da parte dei governi di tutto il mondo per potenziare le proprie forze aeree. Ad esempio, nell’agosto 2020, Taiwan ha firmato un accordo da 62 miliardi di dollari per l’acquisto di 66 aerei da caccia F-16 da Lockheed Martin, un produttore di aerei negli Stati Uniti. Allo stesso modo, nel maggio 2021, il governo egiziano ha ordinato 30 jet Rafael alla Dassault Aviation, Francia. Inoltre, nel 2019, la produzione totale di aerei militari è stata di circa 630 unità. D’altro canto, il numero di produzione si è ridotto a circa 220 aerei militari nel 2020 a causa dell’epidemia di COVID-19, che ha gravemente interrotto la catena di fornitura di componenti aeronautici e causato un rallentamento nella produzione di aerei militari. Tuttavia, il crescente approvvigionamento di aerei da combattimento da parte di vari paesi’ si prevede che nei prossimi anni i governi di tutto il mondo rafforzeranno la crescita del mercato delle ruote e dei freni per aerei per il segmento della difesa.
