The European Aeronautic Industry’s Strategic Research Agenda addresses the reduction in operating costs of relevant European aerospace products by 15%, through the cost effective application of carbon fibre composites to aircraft primary structure, taking into account systems integration. This can be achieved by realising the weight saving potential of advanced composite materials, by reducing the manufacturing costs of composite components, and by reducing subsequent product maintanence costs. For these reasons the present investigations are devoted to the development of new modelling and optimal design concepts that exploit the full potential of advanced composite materials in the aircraft lateral wing upper covers.
