OBJECTIVES
  • Increase the efficiency of advanced material implementation into new aircraft models while at the same time decrease the cost of these materials.
  • Facilitate growth of the use of advanced materials in aircraft application while addressing safety and certification issues to ensure airworthiness assurance and safety.
  • Examine old guidance materials related to advanced materials and determine the relevance with respect to new advances in technology.
  • Promote the cost-effective use of composites and advanced materials to reduce the aircraft Direct Operating Costs (DOC).
  • Integrate the results of research performed within NCAMP to form a basis for standard engineering practice and training within the advanced materials aircraft community; and assist in creating relevant policy and guidance materials.
