“…Practically, this translates into aircraft with longer design lives, longer inspection intervals, and shorter inspection downtimes. ‡ Despite the effort being put into integrated vehicle health management systems [1][2][3], the best way to deal with these stringent requirements is to consider these aspects from the early stage on, in the structural design and material selection phase.…”

This paper discusses the structural and material considerations for fiber/metal composite technology for future primary and secondary aircraft structures. Based on these considerations and the experience obtained so far with fiber/metal laminates in primary aircraft structures, the potential field of further development of fiber/metal composite technology will be explained. It is concluded that a composite technology approach, in which both metals and fibers are combined to form a tailored structural material, can lead to significant weight reduction in future structural applications.
