Abstract: Textiles are used in many areas in the aerospace right from the G-suit to space shuttle. Aerospace comprises of the full spectrum of flight and the aerospace industry manufactures of the components and equipment for things that fly. Many textile developments are associated with the inside of aircraft and spacecraft components used for the different purposes. An increasing demand for textile reinforced composite structures have been noticed in the aviation industry and the reason is for the high strength/weight ratio of the products compared to other materials. The aerospace industry and manufacturer unrelenting passion enhance the performance of commercial and military aircraft is constantly driving the development of improved high performance structural materials. Highly developed speciality textiles have been developed to use in the construction of aircrafts, spacecraft, cars and ships. Nowadays tremendous growth in aerospace textiles is observed by the use of composite materials which are based on ultra strong aramid fibres.
