Current trend in aircraft structural design is to use composite material as primary structural elements. The objective of the project is to develop the best way to fabricate aircraft wing using composite material. The best way means the structure must have the best strength to weight ratio. This means the wing strength capacity is maintained with small weight. The benefit of using composite materials is explained in the first chapter. The project has ventured into several methods of fabrication and the best method is found being used by Eagle Aircraft (M) Sdn. Bhd. One wing was fabricated at the company and the product is compared to another wing fabricate through different method. As the conclusion, the method of fabrication plays an important role in determining the highest strength-to-weight ratio.
