✦ Synopsis

Although resin composites were ftrst used in gets turbines more than 25 years ago, it will only be in the next generation of engines that composite materials will begin to play a predominant material role. This article discusses the uarous composite material systems, their capabilities and the problems that must be ooercome tie fore they can attain their full potentiaL Resin, metal, glass and ceramic composite materials are discussed
