Smart intelligent aircraft structures can adapt to environmental conditions according to design requirements. They offer improvements in total weight, manufacturing cost, and operational cost. Intelligently controlling wing surfaces using on-board computers allows the wing to be "morphed" for maximum aerodynamic efficiency during different phases of flight. Adaptive compliant wings are flexible so that aspects of their shape can be changed in flight.

according to the design requirements
 Aircraft Structures offers significant improvements in aircraft total
weight, manufacturing cost and, above all, operational cost
 its helps to improve the aircraft’s life cycle and reduce its maintenance.
 Ability to decrease airframe generated noise and hence reduce the
effect of air traffic noise near airports
 cruise drag reductions have a positive effect on fuel consumption and
required take-off fuel load

24. Carbon nanotubes have a number of valuable and unique properties,
including:
High thermal and electrical conductivity
Optical properties
Flexibility
Increased Stiffness
High tensile strength (100 times stronger than steel per unit of weight)
Light weight
Range of electro-conductivity
Ability to be manipulated yet remain strong
When applied to products, these properties provide tremendous
advantages. For example, when used in polymers, bulk carbon nanotubes
can improve the electrical, thermal, and electrical properties of the
products.

34. Carbon nanotube networks
Through dissolving a linear polymer inside a solid three-dimensional epoxy
matrix, so that they are miscible to each other, the linear polymer becomes
mobile at a certain temperature When carbon nanotubes are also incorporated
into epoxy material, and a direct current is run through the tubes, a significant
shift in sensing curve indicates permanent damage to the polymer, thus ‘sensing’
a crack. When the carbon nanotubes sense a crack within the structure, they can
be used as thermal transports to heat up the matrix so the linear polymers can
diffuse to fill the cracks in the epoxy matrix. Thus healing the material.
