Description
Advanced composite materials, with their lightness and great strength, are being used more and more in civil and military aircraft. Comprising of contributions from some of the world's leading composites engineers, this new reference work for the aerospace industry shows what advanced composite materials can do, how to use them to their best advantage, and how to efficiently and safely maintain and repair them. In addition it includes a series of case studies of composites in modern aviation, such as the Airbus and gas turbine engine installations, to elaborate and enhance points made in the text.
