High-performance composites were made of knitted fabrics using weft insertion. The stitch was formed by means of thermoplastic yarns (PA6 or PETP); the weft yarns were E-or S2-glass yarns. These fabrics were very flexible and well-suited to produce doubly curved components. Then eight layers of these fabrics were pressed. At that point, the glass yarn reinforcement was arranged unidirectionally. At a proportion of 46 volume-% of E-or S2-glass-with PETP as the matrix-ILS-values from 60-70 MPa could be achieved. The corresponding values of breaking strength were about 900 MPa. They could be achieved by means of S2-glass yarn as the reinforcement component.
