The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted research during the past decade to demonstrate the viability and desirability of using composites, principally for civil aircraft. Similar research under sponsorship of the Department of Defense has been in progress to exploit these materials for military aircraft systems. Some of the NASA programs are outlined and examples are given of structural improvements which have been demonstrated. An evaluation is also given on complementary research to create the technology needed to design composite structures with confidence.
