Impact of Nanomaterials in Airframes on Commercial Aviation

The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) sponsors a research effort investigating carbon nanotube reinforced polymer (CNRP) composite materials in commercial aircraft, the performance of such aircraft, and their potential impact on the air traffic system. This paper discusses the overall goals of this research and highlights the methods for investigating nanomaterials, notional CNRP aircraft performance, and the potential impact of such a vehicle on airports and airspace.
