The emphasis today for the aerospace customer is no longer only on the primary goal of minimum weight, and hence performance, but principally on the cost of ownership. Textile manufactured composites, particularly of the warp-knit or non-crimp fabric type offer significant cost savings in terms of reduced labour time and higher deposition rates over the unidirectional prepreg tape. However attractive the bottom line on a balance sheet, the financial issues must be balanced against critical design considerations. A significant test for the non-crimp fabrics is how well they compare with the unidirectional prepreg tape in terms of the current aerospace design allowable limiting test, compression after impact.
