The materials used for the wing main components of a number of modern transport aircraft are listed and a review is presented of new light metal alloys of high strength. The possible use of composites is dealt with in particular. This, in the case of a transporter of the 80's, is restricted to certain structural component parts (fail-safe parts for security of testing). Material recommendations resulting herefrom, in regard to the main components of a new wing, refer mainly to aluminum alloys. These materials, in view of their strength and price, will be the basic structural material in future civil aircraft.
