Composite materials are beneficial to aviation and aerospace industry based on their light weight and superior physical properties. Fiberglass was first used in the Boeing 707 passenger jet in the 1950s. carbon fiber-based composites are now the leading materials on the market . Composite materials comprises almost 50 percent of the Boeing 787 with 20 percent weight reduce.
Key advantages;
Increase in knowledge and development of the materials in secondary usage transforms usage in primary structure such as wings and fuselages.
Front fairing, upper fuselage shells, crown and side panels, cabin interiors , flaps, wings, flight deck panels and interior design contains mainly composite materials in aeorospace and aviation Industry.
