 Conclusion
What is Composites ?
Composite is material consisting of two or more materials, which have different
physical and chemical properties, combined together in a proper content and fashion
to produce a new material properties that are different from the properties of those
individual materials
Why Composite in Aerospace Industry
?
 The main aim of the aerospace/aircraft industries is to reduce weight keeping the
same or more strength than the regular metals have.
 This criteria leads to use composite.
Advantage of Composites Materials
over Metal
o Light weight
o High heat resistance
o High strength to weight ratio
o Low density
o Corrosion resistance
o High stiffness
o Fatigue resistance
Graphical representation of use of
composite materials over the years
Type of Composites uses
 Fiber glass
 CFRP
 QFRP
 GFRP
 GLARE
Application of Composites in Aerospace
Industry
 Fuselage (Bulkhead)
 Wing flaps
 Rudder
 Elevators
 Radome
 Spoilers
 Floor beams and panels
 Helicopter main and tail rotor blades
 Space vehicles: Satellites, Missiles, Rockets etc.
Use of Composite in Aircraft:
commercial & Military
Commercial:
 Boeing 777
 Boeing 787 Dreamliner
 Airbus A380
Military:
 B-2 Bomber
 Raffle etc.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
 Components that uses composite
structure are:
 Almost full fuselage
 Upper and lower wing skin
 Radom
 Wing flaps, elevators, ailerons
 Vertical Fin and Horizontal Stabilizer
 Use of composite is 80% by volume and
50% by weight
Airbus A380
 Components that uses composite
structure are:
 Horizontal Stabilizer
 Vertical Fin
 Radom
 Wing Fairings
 Wing Box
 Belly Fairings
 Engine Cowlings
 Engine fairings
 Wing box, made of CFRP, has reduced
weight up to one and a half tones
Composite structure for Space
Industry
 Used to manufacture Rocket and Missiles motor cases. Materials for this are
carbon, aramid and glass.
 Composites like carbon-carbon are used to manufacture re-entry nose tips and
heat shields
Composite materials disadvantages
 Use of composite is more challenging to design.
 NDT test for composite material is much more difficult as
compared to metals.
 Delamination of layers.
 High cost
 Damage tolerance.
 Need specialized repair techniques
Composite Future structure
 Honeycomb Structure
 Hybrid composite materials
 Advanced Designs through Simulation
 Investigations into damage tolerance of bonded repairs by test and simulation.
