Özet

In recent times, significant progress has been made in the

use of materials derived from renewable sources due to

reasons such as global warming, environmental pollution,

and the likelihood of depletion of petroleum. Particularly in

high-tech industries such as aviation and aerospace, the

need for new and innovative materials is steadily

increasing. As a result of the traditional materials proving

to be inadequate, the use of alternative materials has

become inevitable. In this context, green composites offer

advantages such as low density, biodegradability, easy

accessibility, cost-effectiveness, good thermal and sound

insulation, recyclability, environmental friendliness,

biocompatibility, and renewability compared to glass,

carbon, and other synthetic fiber-reinforced composites.

The use of green composites in the aviation industry can

contribute to achieving goals such as fuel efficiency,

recyclability, and reduction of carbon footprint. In

conclusion, green composites represent the next generation

of sustainable lightweight and strong composite materials.

They are considered a viable alternative to the composites

currently used in the aviation sector. However, further

research and development efforts are needed for their

widespread commercial use. This study aims to provide a

general assessment of the present and future of sustainable

green composites in the aviation industry, offering a

fundamental resource on this subject.
