Fiber Applications in Aerospace

This article discusses the increasing use of modern textile materials in industries requiring durable and lightweight options. Modern composite materials provide versatile alternatives to metals in applications such as pressure vessels and shipbuilding. As the production of 3D fabrics advances, these textiles will become more cost-effective, increasing their role in further development.

Currently, research into technical textiles is one of the most important areas of product development for technical applications. Textiles can function at a multidisciplinary level in terms of material performance, as they offer a range of technical advantages that cannot be offered by a single typical textile material. Companies and countries that grow little or no natural fibers have a chance to make history by developing and producing synthetic fibers in innovative ways. Many developing countries are increasingly interested in the technical textile sector. Natural fiber producers are now seeking contracts to develop high-performance fibers to be used in transportation, ground construction, aerospace, the space shuttle, healthcare, automotive, and personal protection.

Developed countries such as the United States, Western Europe, and Japan have made great strides in the technical textile sector through their ingenuity in innovation and improvements in research and technology. However, Asian success stories such as China and India are also beginning to play a role in this sector. For example, the Government of India has approved the establishment of four research centres of excellence with a budget of  440 crore (approximately 5.28 million) to support the technical textile industry.

Textile fibres have been an integral part of the structure and composition of products for the last few decades. As materials research advances, there is a focus on discovering new or creative alternatives that outperform current composites. Textile materials are finding new and interesting uses due to their light weight, flexibility in handling, soft feel, strength comparable to metals, and ability to be modified in size and shape at reasonable cost.
As a result, a stream of creative textile compositions is common above and below ground. Today, textiles play a key role in aerospace, medicine, automotive, ground construction, transportation and personal protection. Numerous textile products and components, such as cabin structures and designs, and highly specialized clothing such as space shuttle suits and pilot G-suits, clearly demonstrate the important role textiles play in these products.

Special requirements for safety and functional performance were caused by the different weather conditions and gravity during flight. It is not uncommon for NASA to show interest in textile products for Mars exploration missions as part of its research and development. Aerospace textiles in the technical textile category include technical fabrics and unique end products. These are textiles with components that meet specific functional requirements for use in space shuttles, airplanes, lunar and Mars missions, and space travel. The development and market penetration of technical textiles is undoubtedly driven by advanced technologies and the availability of a highly skilled and well-trained workforce in Europe and the United States.
