內(nèi)容簡介A confluence of aircraft OEM technical innovation and economic pressures on their airline customers creates increasingly favorable market conditions for aerospace composites. It is undeniable that recently media coverage of commercial aircraft programs, particularly The Boeing Co.'s (Seattle, Wash.) televised 787 Dreamliner rollout, has placed composites and carbon fiber into the public lexicon. Much of the industrialized world now is at least vaguely aware that lightweight "high-tech plastic" is making what were previously all-metal passenger planes more fuel-efficient. This breakthrough for advanced composites couldn't have come at a more opportune time. It is no secret that airlines - particularly those in the U.S. since 9/11 - have had to struggle to remain solvent, let alone profitable. Although passenger traffic has recovered, fossil fuel prices everywhere continue to go up as emerging economies escalate their demands on petroleum reserves.
