Comparison of Aramid Reinforced Aluminum Laminates (ARALL) laminates on a structural level with other aircraft materials shows that ARALL laminate is a very attractive material, especially for fatigue-dominated structural parts, like the lower wing and the pressure cabin of an aircraft. To investigate the potential of the material, some preliminary design studies are carried out on these structural components. The studies resulted in a weight reduction of more than 25% for both the lower wing as well as the pressure cabin.
