This paper shows the advantages of applying composites in aircraft structures, mainly in reducing weight, operating costs, and environmental, social, and economic impact. Through documentary research and experimental comparison between composite and metallic alloy aircraft, the efficiency and performance gains are highlighted, along with the new applications of composite materials in air transport and their influence on the global economy.
