The aeronautical sector requires the development of innovative technologies to meet industrial needs and environmental goals to achieve clean aviation. 

The use of thermosetting composites in aircraft increases the efficiency of air transport and significantly reduces the weight of aeronautical structures. Nevertheless, future aviation should be more competitive, environmentally friendly, and safe. To this end, it is crucial to develop structural materials from a sustainable perspective, focusing on the possibility of using bio-based materials, recyclable structural composites, and efficient energy-saving processes.

This session focuses on new strategies for increasing the sustainability of aeronautical composites, matching the Principles of Green Chemistry and those of Process Green Engineering. It also includes contributions toward integrating smart functions in composite materials, preserving the weight reduction of aeronautical structures.
