RISK MANAGEMENT APPLIED TO AEROSPACE ENGINEERING DESIGN.

The intent of this paper is to present applications of risk management to aerospace engineering design; the study was focused on composite materials design and manufacturing of parts, assemblies from aircraft and spacecraft, such as aerostructures, fuselage, aircraft wings and controls, jet engines parts such as fan blades, widely used in aerospace engineering. The use of composites in aerospace engineering provides significant reduction of costs for manufacturing, technology and operation, provided adequate management. Management in composites design, manufacturing and technology may allow to achieving performance and cost-effectiveness for such aerospace engineering parts, which are critical from the safety standpoint.
