which is the introduction of composite material use wherever feasible. Composite materials typically offer a weight saving of between 20 and 25% when used in place of historically manufactured components made predominantly from alloyed metals. The heavier the aircraft‚ the more fuel it burns for a given mission‚ making weight reduction top priority for aircraft designers.
