Abstract
The role of materials in aerospace structures is discussed in terms of engineering performance, at affordable costs, for a variety of applications. Vehicle performance can be extended by improved materials performance and examples are given of new materials (alloys, polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites and hybrid laminates), from the concept of new microstructures through development of new manufacturing processes to pilot scale production.
