What materials are used in Aptera’s construction, and how do they contribute to safety?

Aptera’s structure is built with advanced materials engineered for safety and durability. The front and rear sections are impact-resistant and foam-filled, enhancing protection during high-speed incidents. The front nose cone and subframe are designed to crumple and direct impact energy toward an angled firewall, which safeguards the passenger cabin. At the core of our design is a safety cell crafted from Carbon Fiber Sheet Molding Compound (CF-SMC), which is both ultra-lightweight and stronger than steel, paired with metallic subframes that absorb impact energy. This robust construction ensures that Aptera maintains a strong protective barrier around its occupants.
