The cost effectiveness of carbon fiber composites for aerospace structures is analyzed. Strength to volume ratio, satellite launching cost per unit weight, raw to finished material ratio, evaluation of material properties in space environment, advantage of a low expansion coefficient, and advantages for space construction are discused. It is concluded that carbon fiber composites present both technological advantages and cost effectiveness. Two examples of applications to aircraft structures are described.
