| Abstract | Progress in composite materials has led to their use in applications where improved mechanical and resistance characteristics are required. Most composites are obtained in such a way that they present specific mechanical properties and/or have the role of both a thermal conductor and insulator; these properties are important, specific, specialized, and useful. The advantages of these materials compared to the classic ones are as follows: low weight, high resistance to wear and corrosion, and mechanical characteristics consistent with the subsequent use of the product. The slightly high costs of these materials are justified by their precision, the quality of the products obtained, and the fact that their use leads to increased reliability, maintenance, and, in the cases of the automotive and aeronautical industries, reduced energy consumption. This paper aims to bring to readers' attention the latest research related to glass fibre-reinforced composite materials in transport-related applications, such as automotive and aeronautic applications, including the manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Considering the long period of use, the recycling and reuse of composite materials used in aeronautical transport is a must considering the environmental aspects and the need of achieving a circular economy. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to find new alternatives to improve the performance and durability of materials in the aeronautical transport sector. |
