The first generation of advanced composite carbon and aramid fiber reinforced production components were introduced into the Boeing commercial airplane fleet in the early eighties. An assessment is made of the reported inservice incidents to the carbon fiber composite control surfaces and the resulting implications. The impact on the commercial airlines of the new composite components and their maintenance requirements, some unforeseen problems associated with their introduction, and the resolution by Boeing of these problems are discussed. Some observations deduced from the inservice experience with these first generation components are also presented. It is concluded that the first generation of composite components have successfully proven that carbon fiber is a viable structural material and that the components met their design objectives.
