2 Table of contents (1) Welcome & Introduction (2) SMTC and its approach to this innovative and revolutionary technology (3) The Advantages of Dynatech (4) Summary and next steps (5) Q & A with the Media Dr. Michael Effing, AMAC Mr. Christophe Jenny, SMTC Mr. Gilles Le Masson, SMTC Dr. Michael Effing, AMAC Dr. Michael Effing, AMAC 2

Introduction Weight saving: major driver for aircraft Aircraft industry: Value: 400-600 EUR/kg due to better fuel efficiency Dynatech aircraft cabin can contribute to

3 Introduction Weight saving: major driver for aircraft Aircraft industry: Value: EUR/kg due to better fuel efficiency Dynatech aircraft cabin can contribute to significant weight savings: Single aisle (A320 type): kg Large aircraft (A 350/A380): 750 1,500 kg Source: Airbus, RWTH Aachen, Example: A 380, Fuselage in Modular Structure 3

Example: Life-Cycle-Analysis Aircraft 70 60 50 Total: 60 tons Total: 48 tons (-20%) 2 3 8 1 ton weight saved on the interior over 20 years leads to Co 2 reduction: 120 tons Fuel savings: 3 Mio 40 30

10 What is Dynatech? Foamed In-situ Thermo-formable Sandwich System (FITS Patents) One (PEI) system in an-isotropic core and fiber-reinforced facings, ready to be formed Significant weight savings potential Lower total system cost Other Features: - New design opportunities - thinner layers - space/comfort - Better safety: Superior mechanical performance & FST values - Non fungus, no humidity absorption - Environmentally friendly, easy to recycle 10

11 Benefits vs. Traditional Material Weight saving potential: 20-40% improved stiffness and damage tolerance no additional resin to close edges simplified painting process Cost saving potential: 10-30% Lower total system cost Low cycle times in thermoforming Elimination of labor intensive assembly and edge finishing Reproduceable processing Fully automated processing Quality controls via process Easy to recycle 11

12 Superior Mechanical Performance Dynatech vs. Incumbent 80C Bending Peel Strength Compression Tensile Phenolic / Nomex Incumbent* 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% 250% 300% These differentiators lead to significant weight saving potential * Normed values reference Phenolic/Nomex set to 1 12
