Transportation vehicles include aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, buses, trains, boats, ships, trams, etc. Composite materials are used extensively in this industry. Required properties for composite materials are good mechanical properties, biodegradability, renewability, abundance and low cost. Composites, which are the most important component of the aerospace industry, began to be used in aircraft in the 1950s. A lot of aircraft parts are made of synthetic fiber reinforced composites. The most commonly used fibers in synthetic fiber reinforced composites for aircrafts are glass, carbon and Kevlar. However, leading aircraft manufacturers have goals such as reducing aircraft weight, increasing fuel efficiency and minimizing the impact of manufactured products on climate change. Therefore, the composites produced for the cabinet are desired to be recyclable, flame retardant, strong, flexible, biodegradable and lightweight. Natural fibers are preferred as reinforced material instead of synthetic fibers because of low density, biodegradable, recyclable, non-abrasive, low cost and easy availability. For example, Airbus, the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer, is working on the use of hemp, linen, kenaf and sisal fibers for manufacturing of the sidewall and ceiling panels, the insulation covers and the other aircraft interior components. It is considered to use natural fibers as a reinforcement element in composite materials to increase fire resistance, reduce smoke level and toxicity. In this study, information will be given about the latest developments in composite design from lignocellulosic fibers in aircrafts will be given.
