| Résumé : |
In the aerospace industry, structural performance is becoming synonymous with ecology. Fuel costs represent the highest of all the operating costs of an aircraft. Unsurprisingly, the industry is mustering efforts to reduce the weight of aircraft, which has a direct impact on airline economics and on the environment. In passenger aircraft, every kilogram of weight reduction counts. Estimates suggest that a weight reduction of 100 kg in an average airliner results in a yearly fuel saving of about 19000 litres, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Therefore, the use of lightweight, high-strength materials has become essential for high-end applications in the aviation industry. |
