Abstract
Carbon fiber composite is a material with excellent mechanical properties. Compared with other high-performance fiber materials, carbon fiber composites have the advantages of high strength and high modulus even at ultra-high temperatures. In addition, the carbon fiber composite material also has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding performance. Carbon fiber composites are widely used in the aircraft manufacturing industry due to their incomparable performance with other composite materials. In recent years, the amount of carbon fiber composite materials in newly developed aircraft products has reached more than 50%. This paper aims to explore the application of carbon fiber in aircraft, and to reflect the importance of carbon fiber composite materials by comparing models that use composite materials and models that do not use composite materials. The study explores the application of carbon fiber composite materials in aircraft through a comprehensive literature analysis and review. Key findings indicate significant advantages of these materials in enhancing aircraft performance, including reduced weight and increased strength. The paper also discusses the challenges in manufacturing and environmental impacts, offering insights into future research directions for sustainable aviation technologies.
