Abstract
Although it was projected more than a decade ago that laminated composite materials would become the material of choice, aluminum is still the primary structural material for aircraft. High manufacturing costs, poor out-of-plane properties, and low damage tolerance1 have been limiting factors for laminated composites. In response to these shortcomings, a new generation of composite materials is being evaluated. This class of materials is called advanced textile composites. They have the potential for superior through-the-thickness properties, damage tolerance,2 and cost effectiveness.
