Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in the aerospace industry. Composites have revolutionized traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting viable materials for aircraft structures.
This Special Issue, titled "Advanced Aircraft Composite Structure Design", focuses on the latest advancements and cutting-edge research that contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in aircraft structures. Original research papers and review articles dealing with design, research, and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis, and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites, ranging from individual components such as plates to complete composite structures, are welcome.
By bringing together advancements in the development, characterization, and application of composite materials, this Special Issue aims to disseminate knowledge between users, manufacturers, engineers, and researchers involved in aircraft component manufacturing using composite materials.
