Structural composites.

Structural composites have proven themselves admirably in aircraft and in numerous selected industrial and consumer uses. The technology is now itching to broaden its application base to take advantage of the materials' light weight, high strength, fatigue life, and corrosion resistance. But there is still work to be done to advance processing techniques, to provide a more comprehensive database, and to further reduce costs.

Structural composites may be getting smarter as well as stronger. One significant direction is a broad-based effort in the a
