This introductory chapter of Design and Analysis of Composite Structures: With Applications to Aerospace Structures discusses some of the milestones in the implementation of advanced composites on aircraft and rotorcraft. Specific applications have been selected that highlight various phases that the composites industry went through while trying to extend the application of composites. The application of composites in civilian or military aircraft followed the typical stages that every new technology goes through during its implementation. At the beginning, limited application on secondary structure minimized risk and improved understanding by collecting data from tests and fleet experience. This limited usage was followed by wider applications, first in smaller aircraft, capitalizing on the experience gained earlier. More recently, with the increased demand on efficiency and low operation costs, composites are being applied widely on larger aircraft.
