A further step towards more light weight airframe parts is the combination of existing materials with new high-performance materials. This project aims at qualifying new high-performance materials for airframe structures following a building block approach. To do so, the three first levels of the building block approach will be covered, including coupons, elements and sub-structural details. State-of-the-art test will be introduced in the qualification test campaign that will provide useful material parameters for damage tolerance analysis.
