COMPOSITE MATERIALS USAGE IN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES

Abstract

This article contains information about the aerospace composite industry. Inform about the representation of composite materials in aircraft structures over the past half-century. It describes the advantages provided by composite materials (CFRP mostly) for aircraft structure. It shows their actual usage in aircraft design. It describes the modern production process air components for large transport aircraft. At the end is mentioned strict commitment to reduce emission of CO2, which has set the Advisory Council for Aeronautical Research in Central Europe.
