DESCRIPTION:Dr. Thomas K. Tsotsis\, Boeing Research & Technology\nThe auth
 or will present his view of how to move beyond the current state of the ar
 t in composites for large commercial transports by using these as a starti
 ng point to outline a path for the development and maturation of new mater
 ials\, tools\, and processes for aerospace.  Technology areas such as nan
 omaterials\, modeling\, quality control\, and scale-up will be discussed i
 n some detail with a focus on how these need to be matured or adapted for 
 aerospace usage and how they address the persistent need for improved perf
 ormance at reduced weight. Ongoing work in several technologies will be pr
 esented relative to how they fit into the maturation of next-generation co
 mposites and tools for developing new composite materials. Scale-up will b
 e illustrated by examples in modeling moving up from material property-lev
 el requirements to system-level performance and moving down to micro and s
 ubmicron level. These illustrations will be used to show an approach for e
 ffectively moving between scales in modeling\, testing\, fabrication\, and
  design. Links between large-scale part fabrication and the development of
  new or improved materials and processes will be shown and examples of how
  the proposed approach can help to drive improved performance and manufact
 uring efficiency will be given.
