High fuel costs and strict environmental regulations have increased the demand for this technology in the civil sector. This article presents the application advantages of composites in aircraft structures, especially regarding weight reduction, lower operational costs, and environmental, social, and economic impacts. The research includes literature review, experimental studies, and comparisons with traditional metal alloys.pdf.Materiais compostosAviaçãoSubstituição de metaisEficiência energéticaSustentabilidadeArtigoEngenharia Mecânica
