NASA: Structures and Materials: Composites (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288296330)

Today's aircraft and spacecraft are made from new materials that are more efficient than those used years ago. Composites, or nonmetallic materials, are proving to be just as durable while being much more lightweight. Through demonstration and experimentation, students learn how modern technologies have allowed researchers to develop new materials for flying faster and traveling deeper into the solar system.
