Abstract: Lightweight materials and structures are essential in the aerospace industry, from enabling the large space structures required to advance science missions to reducing fuel consumption.

Aerospace structures encompass the load-bearing frameworks, skins and mechanisms that give aircraft and spacecraft their form, stiffness and strength while meeting stringent mass, reliability and ...

While launch dates for new narrowbodies to replace the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 MAX remain uncertain, suppliers of composite aerostructures are jockeying for position. The future programs are ...

Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, but they are constrained by fairing size and by a tradeoff between deployed size and ...

Sandwiches of porous metal help with both thermal protection and improved load bearing in high-temperature environments.
