Application of nanofibers in aerospace industry

This chapter describes the fiber reinforcement in metal, ceramic, and polymer matrix nanocomposites. Each part of the aerocraft is explained with respect to their suitable nanocomposite materials. Turbine engine always uses the metal matrix and ceramic matric nanocomposite for its efficiency enhancement. Polymer matrix nanocomposite is the suitable material for high-strength structural frames, nose, vertical, and horizontal stabilizers. Fiber-reinforced polymer also plays a major role in lightweight aeroplane manufacture.
