Abstract
Carbon composite has well and truly joined the mainstream of aerospace construction, not least in the commercial aviation sector. Here, aircraft that are up to 50% by weight carbon are proving their worth as fuel-efficient carriers, polluting less and saving their operators money compared with previous-generation metal types. Below, we offer a round-up of progress made by some of the most significant drivers of the reinforced plastic aircraft revolution.
