The development of space and aerospace textiles is a great boon to the present-day textile industry. The manufacturers of the polymer composite component, end-users, designers, structural material researchers and textile manufacturers are involved in the development of new products with the usage of these textile composites. Each new step forward is paving the way to further advancements. At present, these kinds of textiles are making a significant contribution to the increasing market for textiles. Hence, with the progressing steps and emerging trends in the textile industry, greater attention will be drawn from every nook and corner of the world, which ultimately improves the economic strategy of the world to a larger extent, proving that textiles are not only linked to the regular use of protection and safety but also to technological advances satisfying the needs of mankind globally. Aerospace textiles are mainly built to safe guard the life of an aerospace traveller. Protecting the human body from a disaster or from the high rays in the upper layer of the atmosphere and space, which are threat for the life of human, is the ultimate aim of Aerospace textiles. The development of space and aerospace textiles is a great boon to the present-day textile industry. At present, these kinds of textiles are making a significant contribution to the increasing market for textiles. There is scope for a lot of research on aerospace textiles and also for horizontal and vertical growth in aerospace textiles. CT is developing materials to meet the challenges of current and future aerospace applications. High performance fibres and surface coatings are enabling this technology along with a unique manufacturing process that produces customizable flexible composites with optimum strengths and weights (weights ranging from 0.3 to over 20.0 oz/yd2). Material properties of these materials can be tailored for strength and modulus in multiple arbitrary directions and can be produced in seamless two-dimensional flat or threedimensional complex curved structures exceeding 40 ft in width and exceeding 100 ft in length. Materials can be joined with seams that are stronger than the base laminate materials and capable of carrying structural loads for extended periods without failure, slippage, or creep. Laminates can be engineered for pressure retention, low gas permeability, environmental resistance and abrasion resistance. High performance materials like Spectra, Dyneema etc with their high strength-to-weight ratio are ideally suited for aerospace applications. Modifications of their thermal and elongation properties would make them strong contenders for application in parachute design. Textiles used in aerospace applications have been traditionally based on nylon as the base fibre. Nylon is very versatile fibre for use in such applications due to a host of favourable properties. Yet, certain drawbacks of nylon and feasibility of use of HFM like ECPE fabrics has given rise to a new debate in the design of aerospace safety systems, especially in the field of parachute design. Optimum performance of safety systems and their maintainability should be viewed as a joint criterion in the design of safety systems. Such an integrated design approach was hitherto not considered due to lack of an alternative material. However, with advent of HFMs and availability of technology to optimise the textile properties, time has now come to look beyond traditional nylon stronghold in the design of safety systems for aircraft applications.
