The Important Role of Carbon Fiber in the Aviation Industry
In the world of aviation, composites may be the most significant materials. Around the 1960′s, we saw the need of carbon fiber composite embedded in resin. None other than U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy used this material applied it to many different applications. Major applications are particularly seen in aircraft control surfaces such as rudders, which primarily control the movement of the airplane’s nose to the left or right, and ailerons, which are responsible for the longitudinal movement of the airplane. The pinnacle of success for this material was being brought to its major participation in the production of Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
