| Summary: | In this modern aviation industry, it is common to see usage of composite material in aircraft design.
The development of lightweight, high-temperature resistant composite materials will allow the next generation of high-performance, economical aircraft designs to materialize. Usage of such materials will reduce fuel consumption, improve efficiency and reduce direct operating costs of aircraft. Composite materials can be formed into various shapes and, if desired, the fibers can be wound tightly to increase strength. A useful feature of composites is that they can be layered, with the fibers in each layer running in a different direction. This allows an engineer to design structures with unique properties. For example, a structure can be designed so that it will bend in one direction, but not another. |
