The continued growth in air transport has placed an increasing demand on the aerospace industry to manufacture aircraft at lower cost, whilst ensuring the products are efficient to operate, friendly to the environment and ensure that the safety requirements are met. The primary objective for the aerospace industry is to offer products that not only meet the operating criteria in terms of loads and range but also significantly reduce the direct operating costs of the airlines. Airframe manufacturers therefore continually strive to improve aerodynamic and structural efficiency, and reduce the cost of the product and maintenance throughout its life cycle. The major goals of the TANGO program (Iechnology Application to the Near-Term Business Qoals and Qbjectives of the Aerospace Industry) which is partially funded by the European Union are to improve structural efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.
