Abstract

This article emphasises the value of light weighting options in the aerospace industry as a practical way to cut carbon dioxide emissions. Numerous strategies for cutting fuel use in the aerospace industry are presented. An illustration is used to demonstrate the use of fiber-based composites for light weighting and magnesium-based materials as an alternative to aluminum-based materials.The intrinsic thermal properties of magnesium in bulk form and the historical and current use of magnesium-based materials in both fighter and commercial aircrafts serve to disprove the myths of ignitability and flammability. The availability of certain coating processes that can match the corrosion resistance of materials based on magnesium with materials based on aluminium is also included in the information.
