Abstract

Composites as a separate class of engineering material have found many applications in aerospace industries where high performance and safety are a prime concern. A review has been done in order to provide a comprehensive analysis on various types of composites used in the aerospace industry, emphasizing on the features, properties, advantages, limitations, and emerging trends in the field.
