During September 24-26, 2001, the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering
of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands organised
the Glare - the New Material for Aircraft Conference, an
international conference on the relationship between design,
material choice and application of aircraft materials with respect
to new developments in industry. Eminent representatives from the
aircraft manufacturing world, including manufacturers, airlines,
airports, universities, governments and aviation authorities, were
present at this conference to meet and exchange ideas - see the
group photo on the next two pages. The fact that the conference was
held just two weeks after 'September 11, 2001' put things in a
rather unique perspective. The aim of the conference was to
illustrate the many unique applications of the Glare family of
fibre metal laminates and to provide for the exchange and
distribution of information regarding this material in order to
stimulate their acceptance and promote further application. The
introduction of fibre metal laminates into the commercial aviation
market took about 20 years' time. Introducing new technologies
should not be taken lightly, however; the aircraft industry is by
nature rather conservative and innovations must therefore be proven
- a paradox actually - in all possible ways before they can be
introduced in real aircraft structures. Not only do technical
aspects play a role in this respect; historical, cultural,
economical and political issues are equally important.
