About Commercial Aircraft Airframe Materials
Airframe is the mechanical structure of an aircraft, which includes fuselage, wings, empennage, and landing gear. In the aerospace industry, airframe design combines aerodynamics, manufacturing methods, and materials technology to strike a balance between cost, reliability, and performance. The airframe must be able to withstand aerodynamic forces and stresses developed due to the weight of the crew, fuel, and payload. There was a large-scale improvement in the airframe materials market during the 1930s as the wood and fabric used earlier in aircraft were replaced by lightweight and high-strength materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium, titanium, and some stainless steel.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global commercial aircraft airframe materials market to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the period 2017-2021.
