This paper highlights key potential applications of novel emerging nanotechnological approaches for aircraft composite structures. Taking an overall aircraft architecture view, it outlines the technical challenges addressed by nanotechnologies, derives resulting key requirements and illustrates the principal benefits expected from nanocomposite developments. The focus will be on the use of nanomaterials to bring non-inherent electrical functionality to current composite airframes, as this lack is one of the main drawbacks, as well as on the enhancement of the damage tolerance behavior of this type airframe, which can be immediately translatable into significant weight savings for future aircraft concepts.
