Synopsis

Examines the component technologies that may play a role in structures technology for future aerospace systems. Contributors use case histories to demonstrate the technology's development and carry it through to the current state of the art. The six chapters focus on smart air and space structures, affordable composite structures, extreme environment structures, gossamer structures, aging systems and sustainment technology, and computational structures technology. Each chapter describes current capabilities, deficiencies and barriers; current research activities; future directions of development; and applicability of the technology in both the near and far term future.
