47G and U.S. Bobsled/Skeleton Partner With Aerospace Composite Firms on Next-Generation Bobsleds for 2034
SALT LAKE CITY, Salt Lake County, Utah — 47G, Utah's aerospace and defense association, the U.S. Bobsled/Skeleton team (USABS) and several composites companies announced a partnership on October 28 at 47G's Zero Gravity Summit in Salt Lake City, during the city's Hard Tech Week, to develop next-generation bobsled cowlings for the U.S. team.
Albany Engineered Composites, which has Utah operations, will develop cowlings for the four-man bobsled; Utah-based Nammo Composite Solutions will build carbon-fiber cowlings for the two-man sled; and Hexcel will contribute materials expertise, with university partners convened by 47G. The partners say the effort applies Utah's aerospace composites capability to building lighter, faster sleds ahead of the 2034 Utah Winter Olympics.
"We'll be proud to support Team USA," said Lyndon Smith of Hexcel.
