INTRODUCTION
This report summarises the findings of the
COMPOSIT thematic network on “The
Future Use of Composites in Transport” in
relation to the aerospace sector.
The COMPOSIT Thematic Network
The aim of the COMPOSIT thematic network
was to bring together researchers,
designers, manufacturers and end-users of
composite materials across the aerospace,
automotive and rail industries. This was
achieved through a series of ten workshops
that were held throughout 2002 and 2003.
Each workshop addressed a specific theme
or issue relating to the use of composites in
transport by providing a forum for
comparison, collaboration and crossfertilisation
between the different sectors.
The intention was to encourage knowledge
transfer and promote best practice in the
use of composites within the transport
system.
As an output from each workshop, issues of
common interest were highlighted and future
research needs were identified and
prioritised. Centres of excellence that could
act as focal points to address these
research needs were also identified. In this
way, research “clusters” were developed for
each workshop theme, thus providing a
roadmap for future research direction. The
full details of the clusters can be found at
www.compositn.net.
The COMPOSIT consortium was headed by
four partners, each representing one of the
industrial sectors with a vested interest in
the project: NewRail for the rail industry,
EADS Deutschland for the aerospace
industry, Centro Ricerche Fiat for the
automotive industry, and SICOMP for the
composites industry. Six additional members
provided further specialist technical input:
D’Appolonia, IKV, INEGI and the
Universities of Leuven, Newcastle and
Zaragoza.

Summary of the COMPOSIT thematic network -
research clusters have been developed for each
of the ten horizontal workshop themes
In identifying and ultimately addressing the
composite material research needs of the
transport sectors, it is anticipated that the
legacy of COMPOSIT will be:
• New and improved concepts for
composite material transport
applications, leading to an increased
usage of composites and better vehicle
solutions.
• Improved competitiveness for the
composites industry by reducing
development costs and time-to-market
for new transportation products.
• The creation of an infrastructure for
sustainable inter-industry co-operation.
The Scope of this Report
This report summarises the findings of the
COMPOSIT thematic network in relation to
the aerospace sector. It provides an
overview of the applications in which
composite materials are currently employed.
It then considers the various technical
issues associated with the use of
composites in aircraft as identified by the
research clusters. These issues provide the
basis for a list of future research priorities.
Furthermore, centres of excellence capable
of leading this future activity are identified.
Finally, assuming that the research
deficiencies can be addressed, potential
future applications for composites within the
aerospace industry are suggested.

CURRENT APPLICATIONS OF COMPOSITES IN AEROSPACE
Starting with projects such as the first fullycomposite
glider “Phönix”, a development at
Stuttgart University in 1959, fibre reinforced
polymers have gained an important role as
structural materials in the aerospace
industry. High specific stiffness and strength,
superior fatigue performance, corrosion
resistance and high energy absorption
capabilities are the main properties that
have led to a steady growth in the use of
composites in all fields of aircraft and space
application. Figure 1 presents a comparison
between the mechanical properties of
composites and light metals, whilst Figure 2
