Challenges, Ideas, and Innovations of Joined-Wing Configurations: A Concept from the Past, an Opportunity for the Future

This paper discusses the structural and material considerations for fiber/metal composite technology for future primary and secondary aircraft structures. Based on these considerations and the experience obtained so far with fiber/metal laminates in primary aircraft structures, the potential field of further development of fiber/metal composite technology will be explained. It is concluded that a composite technology approach, in which both metals and fibers are combined to form a tailored structural material, can lead to significant weight reduction in future structural applications.
