COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND TECHNO-ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES

Aerospace industries across the world is keen to exploit optimal advantages of composite materials by replacing conventional technologies and materials with innovative carbon, fibers, and reinforced polymers based composite materials that offer significant technological as well as commercial advantages over conventional materials and technologies. Increasing scope and applications of composite materials in diverse fields of aerospace industry strongly suggested that composites are here to stay for a significantly longer span of time as an extremely effective and efficiency replacement for conventional materials. Various studies conducted on implications of composite usage on the industry suggests that extensive use and applications of composite materials in varied technologies saves significant costs in manufacturing and maintenance due to fewer structural complexities, reduced assembly time and labor costs, substantially lowered operational costs that makes composites an invaluable material for the industry. 

    

There are varied technological benefits of using composite materials in defense, military, space, and commerce in context to airborne machines that can be aptly derived from variety of composites as mentioned earlier.Some of the widely recognized advantages of composites are increased heat resistivity, resistance to strong winds, increased resistance to metal fatigue,greater tolerance to impacts,structural integrity and stability, and significantly lower weight that substantially adds value to performance and cost efficiency thereby satisfyingevery technological, mechanical, commercial, and industrial need. Light weightiness of aircrafts is an extremely invaluable technological advantage that conventional aircrafts could never offer that resulted in significant costs on fuel and greatly hindered efficiency, performance, and speed of the aircrafts.

      

Considering the various techno-economic benefits and commercial benefits derivable from composite it is inferred that composites are a revolutionary material bound to transform aerospace and other industries by bringing down manufacturing and maintenance costs significantly yet delivering optimal quality and performance benchmarks. The benefits of composites, namely, light weightiness, reduced assembly complications, and structural integrity as can be interpreted from findings of various studies definitely outweigh its demerits thus making it an unbeatable technological marvel for the industry. This study strongly recommends industry wide use and applications of composites to ensure and realize significant performance improvements and optimize the life of varied resources that employ composite materials. The  inferences drawn herein are immensely beneficial for amateur engineers and researcher that want to gain vital insights on applications and benefits of composites to various industries.
