Improvements in nonmetallic materials used in helicopter construction are presented. The specific uses of these materials for the different components of helicopters are described. Emphasis is given to the applications of modern composites. The financial, technical and safety aspects associated with the use of these materials are discussed together with some specific problems, e.g., maintenance. A 6 to 8 ton class tactical helicopter is treated as an example.
