Advanced composite materials have been adapted to several applications in the aerospace industry. The main advantages of advanced composites are reduced weight, superior strength, and high corrosion resistance. Apart from these advantages, vibration and thermal insulations are the other important areas that benefit from composite materials for aerospace structures. At this point, as a natural product, cork comes to the fore that today’s air and space vehicles have already been benefiting from cork-based products. However, apart from its mechanical and thermal properties, cork deserves much more attention from the sector as an environmentally friendly composite material. In this chapter, a brief discussion will be given regarding cork composites in aerospace applications.
