The choice of aerospace materials is governed by the design, function, loads and environmental service conditions of the structure. Understanding aircraft structures allows aerospace engineers to select the most appropriate material. The materials used in safety-critical structures, which are structures that can result in loss of the aircraft when they fail, require high mechanical properties and excellent durability in the aviation environment. Examples of safety-critical structures are the fuselage, wings, ...
