The research conducted by NASA's Aircraft Energy Efficiency Composites program in developing essential technologies for the efficient utilization of composites in the airframe structures of transport aircraft is described. Current activities, present state-of-the-art, production trends in the U.S., and the outlook for major use of composites in primary structures are examined. Special attention is given to application of composites in transport wing and fuselage structures. The projections for the Advanced Tactical Fighter of the late eighties suggest application of composites in the airframe structures to the extent of 50 percent, an all-composite transport could become a reality in the mid-nineties.
