Reduced weight — Composites are up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum. In aircrafts, the lighter weight of composite materials also increase speed and maneuverability. However, thermoplastic composites are gaining traction because of their recyclability, ease of manufacturing and design flexibility.
