There is a revolution underway in commercial aircraft manufacturing today and it can be summed up with composites. There

are many good reasons for aircraft manufacturers to use composites and for airlines to want composites to be used in their fleets. Many advanced composite materials achieve relatively greater strength characteristics compared with traditional metallic materials, reducing aircraft weight and thus reducing fuel cost per passenger carried. Composites are more resistant than metal to fatigue from repeated take off/landing cycles, resulting in fewer costly inspections over the aircraft’s lifespan and more time spent in the air making money. In today's scenario magnesium alloy is widely used as matrix material for composite in aerospace application.
