In the United States, their combined sales of $156 billion in 1991 composed roughly 3 percent of the gross national product, and over one million workers were employed in direct and allied industries. The importance of these two industries to the country can be clearly seen in the report on the much heralded federal program in materials science and technology, entitled Advanced Materials and Processing Program, recently issued by the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology (FCCSET)

For example, advanced metals and composites, innovative structural concepts, and improved fabrication processes would offer opportunities to make stronger and more cost-effective primary wing and fuselage structures (FCCSET, 1992, 29~. ...for a new generation of supersonic commercial aircraft...advanced ceramic and intermetallic composites would enable the development of affordable engines operating with reduced emissions and at acceptable noise levels, and advanced aluminum alloys and composites would help reduce airframe weight (FCCSET, 1992, 29~.
