  Applications of Composite Materials in Aerospace Industry

  By H L Kulkarni

  Abstract: Composites are becoming increasingly important in the aerospace industry. At least 30–40 per cent of modern airframes are now made of composites, and this percentage is increasing rapidly due to technological advances in the field. Fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials are fast gaining ground as preferred materials for construction of aircrafts and space crafts. This paper gives a review of some of these developments with a discussion of the problems with …
