2. Carbon Fiber Material Advancements
A. Cost-Benefit Analysis
| Metric | Aluminum (6061-T6) | Carbon Fiber (T700S) |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 4.8kg | 2.1kg |
| Fatigue Life | 120,000 cycles | 390,000 cycles |
| Production Cost | $76.50 | $129.80 |
| Lifespan | 3.2 years | 8.5 years |
B. Supply Chain Optimization
Total Cost of Ownership (5-year projection):
Aluminum: ($76.50 × 1.56 replacements) + $240 maintenance = $358.14
