The cost effectiveness of structures in transports is basically depending on the operational capability and availability, the so called structure effectiveness, per unit cost. These costs are mainly determined by the cost to manufacture (aquisition costs) and the costs to operate (mass) and to maintain (damage sensitivity). In this paper the attention is focused on a new approach leading to efficiency improving sandwich material concepts, structures and related manufacturing processes, satisfying the value for money criterion as formulated by the cost effectiveness criterion. The sandwich materials and technology applied are based on the use of thermoformable continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic polymers, in particular E-glass reinforced polyetherimide (PEI).
