Glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites are widely used in the manufacture of various components of aircrafts. This material can be replaced by using Basalt-fiber-reinforced plastic (BFRP) composites which are having superior material properties than GFRP. Aircrafts generally fly through different altitudes, through different environments, different temperature regions, etc. This effect will have the influence on the mechanical behavior of the materials. Therefore there is an imminent need to investigate the mechanical behavior of BFRP subjected to various temperature conditions. The objective of this chapter is to characterize the mechanical behavior of the BFRP when exposed to various temperatures like room temperatures like cryogenic to high temperature. The experimental results show that the bending strength,flexure modulus are improved at 50 °C post curing condition, and also the properties are much improved at aging condition. Impact energy has decreased at aging condition.
